Start the Dig

We’re on the move: Strap in.

So we have money, core team and a clear direction of travel (oh, and a first playable demonstrating key gameplay systems). Huge thanks to all of our fledgling Company’s supporters and early investors. With the right idea, great people and enough gas in the tank to go the distance you can change any Industry. That’s what we’re aiming to do: Change an Industry. Not for the sake of it, but because change is needed.

Every wonder why you’re bored of playing games you grew up playing? Well, you just answered the question: You grew up (and that’s OK). As we get older, our tastes change, the palate becomes more sophisticated. You look for different things. At Paydirt Games we’re committed to innovation in the business model of videogaming in contexts where it makes sense.

More serious forms of videogaming as entertainment, designed to be enjoyed by a customer demographic of videogamers where the average is 42years (right?). Paydirt Games mission is to create compelling entertainment experiences with a specific purpose: Appeal to those who have ‘aged out’ of typical videogame genres. Those seeking something new, different, serious, FUN and visceral to warrant the time investment to play (time is our ultimate resource, particularly as we age, right?).

Let’s see how we get on. First company pit stop is GDC Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in ~4weeks’ time. We’ll be there, looking for contacts, recruits and to start Industry networking (and learning). By then we should have the first playable in the palm of our hands. What better audience to take the pulse of? Let’s find out the good, bad & ugly of 2024’s State of the (videogames) Industry. See you there!
