Thought Pennies exists to bring the highest craft level RPGs to the world.
RPGs are a unique creature in the game development bestiary. Less about flashy tricks or raw dazzling show off graphics, RPGs are huge and intimidating because of their many interlocking parts, their layered systems and winding plots. To take one down requires dedication, perseverance, single-minded focus, and craft skills honed over decades.
At Thought Pennies we started with passionate veterans who have taken these beasts down before - Designers and Writers from some of the most storied RPGs in history. Then we paired those veterans with the most brilliant, RPG-obsessed, craft experts to be found. Together we’re here to create fan favorite stories, immersive gameplay, characters that feel like friends, and choices that are talked about breathlessly.
Higher art through technology and teamwork
At Thought Pennies we talk about technology and pipelines as much as we do creative vision and storytelling prowess. We want to build the deepest, most interesting games with the smallest team possible. We’re uninterested in staggering under the weight of thousand-person dev teams with hundreds of people working as merely cogs. Or on the absence of human insight into a problem. With a focus on technology to solve known problems and leaning on pipelines to handle repetitive tasks in which they specialize, our name Thought Pennies came from a discussion where we asked:
“Can we work with the best developers and really take care of them well?”
Our answer: “Enthusiastically, unequivocally yes!”
Thought Pennies Entertainment is a Role-Playing Game studio creating games focused on emotional storytelling. We celebrate diverse experiences and backgrounds as well as a passionate, hands-on, technically savvy approach to game development. We are located in Canada and the USA and are fully remote.
