An independent game studio · Melbourne, Australia
Worlds drawn
one square at a time.
GridMapStudio makes games the way maps used to be made — by hand, with care, and with room in the margins for other people’s ideas. We build worlds our community can shape, share, and make their own.
Community-driven by design
The best game worlds are grown, not shipped. We design our games so that creating, remixing, and sharing isn’t a bonus feature — it’s the point.
A love of tower defence
Winding paths, patient plans, and that one perfect chokepoint. We grew up defending very important places from very persistent things, and we think the genre’s best days are still ahead.
Handcrafted, a little magic
Grid paper, imagination, and far too many coloured pencils. We like games that feel made by people — a bit of fantasy, a bit of whimsy, and craft you can see up close.
From the workshop
Something is stirring on the grid.
Our first project is taking shape behind the curtain. We’re not ready to say much yet — but if you like building mazes and holding the line, you’ll want to stay close.
