LAIKAGame Studios

Building since January 2025

We build worlds that remember you.

One developer — plus collaborators when a build needs them — making three games: a co-op frontier RTS on Laika’s world, a first-person co-op recovery game, and a game we haven’t said anything about yet. None of them are out yet; all are headed for Steam.

Novaya

Co-op frontier RTS

Push the frontier. The planet pushes back.

A co-op RTS in daylight on Laika’s world. One base, two to four of you, a map that resists. Claim ground by lighting it. Hold it or lose it. Reach the Signal.

In planning — nothing to show yet.

Recovery Truck

First-person co-op industrial recovery

You can only go as far as the signal reaches.

One to four players drop onto a plant that is already failing, work a contract against a seizure clock, and extract. Past the edge of the signal you send a unit you have already argued with, and find out what it decided when it comes back into range.

In design — nothing to show yet.

When the sun comes up

None of these are out yet.

So the list is the point: playtest invites while there are places left, and the first word when there is something to play.

  • Devlog every fortnight
  • Playtest invitations

How we build

We'd rather ship something honest than something impressive.

Systems over scripts.

Our worlds run on real logic — power, weather, automation — not scripted set-pieces.

Skill is the ceiling.

Gear amplifies skilled play; it doesn't replace it.

Shipping in public.

Builds go out as devlogs: real captures, real playtests, pre-alpha and all.
