01 — The studio
One person.
Full field.
ArcField Studios is an independent one-person studio. One developer, modern tools, and a simple bet: small games, finished properly, beat big games that never ship.
We build in the open — the wins, the bugs, the numbers. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to ship a mobile game solo, that story is the studio.
02 — The stance
Fair-play monetization,
in writing
Most of our genre treats the player as inventory. We'd rather be the studio people trust with their lock screen. These rules are the product spec, not marketing.
01
Ads must earn their place
A rewarded ad is a trade, not a trap. If watching one isn't clearly better for the player than the free alternative, it doesn't ship — we hold that line even when it costs revenue in the short term.
02
Caps from day one
Interstitial frequency is decided at the design table, capped before launch, and never quietly cranked up afterwards. The genre's cautionary tales all start with 'just one more ad per run.'
03
Your time is the price
Free-to-play means the player pays with attention. We keep that honest: no fake countdowns, no guilt screens, no mechanics that punish you for closing the app.
04
Real screens only
Everything we show — store pages, trailers, this site — comes from the actual build. No staged mockups passed off as gameplay, ever.
