On July 06, 2024, we reached an incredible milestone: VinoGames Oy is now officially a registered company in Finland. While it may sound like just paperwork, for us, it marks the beginning of a dream becoming reality. VinoGames is no longer just two developers working on passion projects — it’s a company with vision, commitment, and a deep love for games that captivate and inspire.
From the very beginning, our goal has been to create meaningful gaming experiences — games that do more than entertain. We want to build worlds that players remember, characters they connect with, and stories that linger long after the credits roll. With the formation of VinoGames Oy, we’re taking the first serious steps toward building a studio that can bring those ideas to life.
Behind VinoGames are two people with different strengths but a shared purpose. One of us brings technical expertise — coding, systems design, gameplay mechanics. The other brings the heart — visual storytelling, worldbuilding, narrative depth. Together, we complement each other, challenge each other, and share a desire to make games that are unique and emotionally impactful.
The process of officially registering the company wasn’t just a legal step. It was an emotional one. Seeing the name VinoGames Oy in the trade registry made everything feel real. There was a sense of responsibility too — now we don’t just owe it to ourselves to make great games, but to our future players, to our supporters, and to each other.
We know that starting a game studio isn’t easy. There are hundreds of decisions to make every week, from budgeting to engine versions, to how best to plan a production timeline when you’re a tiny team. But we believe that constraints can inspire creativity — and that passion, clarity of vision, and determination can take you further than resources alone.
With our official registration, we now have the foundation to grow. That doesn’t mean scaling fast or chasing trends — it means building stability. Registering VinoGames Oy allows us to publish our games under a name we believe in, set up proper financial structures, collaborate with partners, and apply for grants or business support when needed.
In the coming months, we’ll be redesigning our website to reflect who we are as a studio, improving our developer blog, and preparing materials for future showcases. We’ll be more active on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and X, sharing updates, art, work-in-progress clips, and developer thoughts.
We’re also deeply interested in connecting with other indie developers, players, and creators. Whether you’re another solo dev, a fan of experimental storytelling, or someone just curious about game development — we’d love to talk. We believe that openness and transparency make the creative process richer and more rewarding.
There’s still a long way to go. There will be challenges. But today, we celebrate. We’ve turned something we love into something real. And that’s the best beginning we could ask for.
If you’re reading this — thank you. For your time, your interest, your encouragement. We hope you’ll stick with us as we grow, stumble, learn, and create.
