We make the games we want to play
Pastel Games is a small, independent game studio founded in Türkiye in 2026.
Our story
We make games because we love playing them. We started Pastel Games to have a place where nobody tells us what to build, so we can make the games we'd want to play ourselves.
With a small team we talk through every detail together: from how a game plays to its music to how a menu feels. That's why we stand behind every game we release.
The "pastel" in our name isn't an accident: soft colors, a warm feeling and respect for the player. We look for that balance in everything we make.
What we believe in
Four simple principles that guide every game we make.
Players first
For every decision we ask the same question: would we play this?
We sweat the details
Small things are what make a game feel big. We love working on them.
Independent
The creative calls are ours to make, and that gives our games their own voice.
Made together
From gameplay to music to how a menu feels, we talk everything through together.
How we work
The road from an idea to a player's hands.
- 01
Idea
Everything starts with "we'd love to play this".
- 02
Prototype
We make the idea playable fast and check whether it's actually fun.
- 03
Playtest
We open the game to real players early and shape it with their feedback.
- 04
Polish
Sound, feel, menus: this is where we spend the most time on small details.
- 05
Launch
We release the game and keep growing it together with our players.
