Solar Engine Studios takes its name from our first game — a deliberate choice. Rather than build a studio identity separate from the work, we wanted our name to carry the DNA of the project that started everything: a finite, deterministic galaxy, built from a single seed, that stays exactly as you left it.
The studio exists to keep making games in that spirit — systems-first, persistent, and honest about what's actually fun before adding scope for its own sake. Solar Engine started as a design document and a lot of programmer-art prototyping, and it's being built the same way most good indie games are: in public, one working system at a time.
