DoubleDutch Games

DoubleDutch Games, a dynamic studio of around 25 developers, crafts shared mobile gaming experiences, rather than simply building games. Their flagship mobile RPG, 'Guildlings,' known for its innovative turn-based combat and deep narrative, owes its finely-tuned gameplay to DoubleDutch’s rapid prototyping. Lead designer Jae Kim’s team iterates swiftly, playtesting mechanics within weeks—a process that transformed the initial combat system from real-time action to the strategic turn-based battles players cherish, based on early player feedback emphasizing strategic depth. Before ‘Guildlings,’ their indie puzzle game 'Gravitas,' developed by Kenji Tanaka, showcased their versatility in physics-based gameplay and innovative puzzle design. At DoubleDutch, open communication fuels their creative process, where weekly 'Innovation Jams' spark fresh ideas, and active Discord engagement directly influences development. For instance, player suggestions regarding character customization directly inspired new cosmetic options in a recent ‘Guildlings’ update. Leveraging Unity, DoubleDutch utilizes bespoke tools like 'ArtSync,' streamlining asset integration, and 'BehaviorFlow,' a visual scripting system for complex NPC AI, allowing for more dynamic and responsive in-game characters. A recognized indie game developer known for building captivating mobile gaming adventures, DoubleDutch Games is committed to pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
