Starboard Studios makes video games in a way that we can believe in.
What is The Pirate Way?
The pirate way is not about being illegal, but the more romantic way that pirates can be seen in uplifing stories about freedom.
It’s about not letting ourselves be bogged down by “the way it should be.” Or rather, the processes that are seen in the industry as the only way to do a thing. We explore, we experiment, we don’t lock ourselves to a particular set of tools or management.
There was a period of time when major games were created with smaller teams than what we see these days in highly funded studios. In the 90’s and early 2000’s, small groups of individuals pushed the technology, methodology, and creativity to its limits. Those are the games we remember the most fondly. That is not to say new games aren’t doing this. There are new games every day who push forward, of course. And this is what we aim to do as well.
