About
At Core Box Games, our ethos is driven by the MADE principle—Minimal, Abstract, Difficult, and Entertaining. Each game we craft embodies these four pillars, ensuring a unique, engaging, and memorable gaming experience. Our commitment to this ethos reflects our dedication to quality and innovation in computer gaming.
Minimalism
We believe in the power of simplicity. Our design philosophy is rooted in minimalism, favouring clean, organized, and uncluttered aesthetics that enhance gameplay rather than detract from it. This approach prevents us from becoming ensnared in complexity and results in a fresh, transparent product that players can intuitively navigate. By keeping things simple, we focus on the essence of gaming, fun and engagement without overwhelming players with unnecessary elements.
Abstraction
Abstraction is a critical component of our game design. It represents our commitment to creating immersive and thought-provoking experiences that challenge players to think creatively. We delve beyond conventional design, encouraging players to explore and interpret our games differently. This abstraction in gameplay and level design ensures a dynamic interaction between the game and the player, making each journey through our games uniquely compelling.
Difficulty
We embrace challenges in an era where many games cater to ease of play. Rejecting the notion that games require tutorials to be accessible, we design our games to be intuitive yet demanding. We believe in respecting the intelligence and adaptability of our players, allowing them to discover and learn as they progress. This philosophy fosters a more profound sense of achievement and respects player preferences in control schemes and accessibility, ensuring our games are enjoyable for a broad audience.
Entertaining
Central to every game we create is delivering truly entertaining experiences that capture and hold the player's interest. We value depth and complexity, but our primary focus is on incorporating elements that elevate our games' overall enjoyment and playability. Our design approach is iterative and adaptive, constantly seeking to refine our games in ways that heighten their entertainment value without adding unnecessary complexity. We believe that actual achievement in game development is measured by our ability to produce games that players are eager to revisit repeatedly, finding new joys and challenges with each session.
