Brain and Nerd is a game development studio based within NI game studio accelerator The Pixel Mill. We are a small studio that makes big games, specialising in procedural generation and solid mechanics.
As longtime gamers and bloggers, the Brain and Nerd directorate is well-placed to spot emerging industry trends and create games that PC gamers actually want to play.
We believe that customer-led development is the key to successful indie game development. We adapt our design and mechanics to suit our playerbase.
Brain and Nerd has two STEM Ambassadors in-house and often hosts work experience and placements. We also give advice to similar start-up businesses.
Our first title, Predestination, is a turn-based 4X strategy game for PC that's now available on Steam. We are currently working on a survival sandbox game named Hortalius and an office management sim called INC.ubator.
