Proper Labs

Proper Games Labs is the area of our site where the dead ideas go!

Well, not quite – as a games company we are constantly trying out new ideas and prototyping new stuff. Of course 99% of that stuff never sees the light of day, but a lot of it is fun and playable... so we’re gonna let you play them!

Game ideas can never make it past the prototype stage for a variety of reasons – time, theme, whether they fit the company philosophy, market conditions, money, or sometimes they’re just not quite up to the quality we want to produce.

Over time we will be uploading slightly-polished versions of our prototypes that don’t make it into production, along side concept art, discussion on what went right and wrong, and tons more cool insider info. So if you want to see the kind of stuff we don’t get to release, or if you fancy a bit of insight into our creative processes, then this is the place to come!

We do want to add a slight disclaimer though: there is always a good reason why these games got killed off, and while we make some efforts to tidy them up and present them so they’re fun to play, we’re conscious that they’ll never be fully polished. Placeholder artwork and sounds, slightly buggy code - all this and more can be expected.

But hey, they’re free to play!
