Cindertemper
Studio
Independent game studio
Cindertemper Studio creates atmospheric games where systems, story, and consequence share the same fire.
The studio
Cinder is what remains after the blaze. Temper is the discipline that turns heat into strength. Together, they define how we build: with patience, pressure, and purpose.
We are an independent Texas studio focused on games with memorable worlds, expressive strategy, and decisions that leave a mark.
Our first world
Dark fantasy card game · In development
TSC
Forge your pact.
Seven elements forged the world. Six would fight for dominion. One would watch. Enter a living card game shaped by champions, pacts, campaigns, and raids.
Our second world
Cozy 3D myth puzzle · In development
MM
Spin the heap.
A mischievous magpie has piled the relics of forgotten legends onto grey stone. Turn each glossy heap, send every relic home, and bring colour back to the Isle of Remembrance.
Our third world
Arcade pinball · In development
CC
Pull. Flip. Loop.
Top-down arcade pinball in the spirit of the Amiga classics, with flat bright colours, a dot-matrix display and a 70s sound. Six tables, each with its own rules and multiball: a carnival in orbit, a neon boardwalk, a speedway, a haunted fairground, a casino and the deep sea.
What guides us
Rules should create tension, expression, and stories worth retelling.
Atmosphere is not decoration. It is the force that makes a world stay with you.
Every detail must earn its place, from the first choice to the final frame.
