Stories & characters
Exploring ideas, writing scenes and finding the people at the heart of a game.
The studio
A shared beginning.
Founded in 2026. Two people, a visual novel, and a lot to learn.
Small team.
Room to imagine.
An independent game studio, founded in 2026 in the Maldives.
HOM.dev is the studio’s working name, with its website at homstudio.dev.
We are two people turning a shared interest in games into a creative practice. We’re learning to program, draw, design systems and tell stories, one experiment at a time.
Visual novels are our starting point. RPGs are on our horizon.
Art & atmosphere
Drawing practice, visual experiments and learning how presentation shapes a world.
Code & play
Programming, game-design experiments, prototypes and tools that help us learn.
The people behind it
A cast of two.
