OUR PHILOSOPHY
Why we make games
Everyone has a different idea of what makes a good game. At Detailoop, we see games as a medium that expands the worlds we can experience.
Games broaden our experience.
They let us make choices we have never made in real life and see the world from unfamiliar perspectives. We hope these experiences leave something to think about after play ends, and help us understand the world around us.
We make the games we have wanted to play.
Detailoop began with a desire for choices and depth we had not fully found in existing games. We want to make the games we have always wanted to play and share those experiences with others.
Details make a world believable.
Detail means more than intricate scenery or a wealth of information. It includes small rules, the consequences of choices, and the connections between characters’ actions and the story. We believe an experience becomes deeper when the elements of a world work together.
Even fantasy has an order of its own.
A game does not have to reproduce reality to be rich in detail. An imagined world can be just as convincing when its rules are consistent, its structure is coherent, and it feels complete.
We refine through repetition.
Detailoop combines “Detail” and “Loop.” Through a repeated process of making, playing, and refining, we pursue worlds with greater depth and coherence.
We make games that broaden our experience.
