Who we are
ShockTube Games is a veteran-owned small business focused on doing more with less. We are building Tirna Frontier, a large-scale multiplayer survival game in Unreal Engine 5.
Why this team
We are founder-led, veteran-owned, and research-driven. We bring in experienced Unreal Engine specialists to prove the hardest technical and gameplay risks before we scale the team.
Doing more with less means disciplined spending tied to milestones, specialists brought in where they matter most, and validation at each stage before scaling. We will not build a large permanent team until the core loop and the technology are proven.
How we build
We start from the shortcomings players already name in today's survival games, and test each assumption before committing significant development capital.
Research
Competitive analysis across the leading survival games.
Validate
Targeted surveys, player feedback, and market research.
Prioritize
Capital goes to the systems that matter most.
Scale
Spend after the evidence, not before it.
