We are
Broken Pony Studios
Every great journey begins with a glitch. A broken mechanic, a stray line of code, an idea that doesn't fit the mold.
Broken Pony Studios was founded on the belief that perfection is boring. We embrace the chaos of development to forge worlds that feel alive, dangerous, and distinct. We are not a factory; we are a workshop.
"If I cease becoming better, I shall soon cease to be good."
— Oliver CromwellThe Origin Story
It started as a hobby in 2014. What began as late-night coding sessions and sketching concepts finally evolved into reality in April 2024.
We started as an husband-and-wife duo (a Developer and a 3D Artist) who realized that our combined skills were the perfect foundation for a studio. It just made sense to take the leap. Our passion for creating art and software runs deep; we build the kind of content we want to experience ourselves.
Why "Broken Pony Studios"?
"The name was originally a joke my wife made over dinner. I laughed, thought about it for a minute, and turned it into a registered trademark the very next day."
It represents the beauty in imperfection. A polished pony is a toy; a broken one has a story to tell.
