Description

Pawsmonaut Games is a proud Scottish solo-indie game development studio, founded in 2023 to create deep, compelling experiences without micro-transactions, battle passes or predatory monetisation.
We are currently working on our debut title, AETHUS.

Ethos

After seven years working in AAA studios and start-ups such as Rockstar North, Splash Damage and Build a Rocket Boy, Alex Kane started Pawsmonaut to make games differently.
AAA quality, Indie heart.

The studio is founded on a few core principles:

  • Be Real.
       We’re all human, and appreciate each other and our work best when we’re our real selves. No corporate identity to hide behind, no soulless statements from rounds of Press and HR rep approval, show the real person behind the game and connect with the player.
  • Back to Basics.
       I’m making a premium, high quality, single-player game with an engaging narrative and deep systemic gameplay. Focus on what makes the game special, ignore trends, trust the player.
  • Don’t be Predatory.
       No microtransactions, no battle passes, no paid cosmetics, no blockchain, no NFTs, no AI generation. Have respect for the player, their time, and their money.
