Solo indie game studio · since 2020

Strategy, sims and
squad tactics

Tactical Chicken Studios is a one-person studio building the games I actually play: base-builders, management sims and squad tactics. The bigger titles are in the works for desktop, and there are free, quick-play games in your browser to dig into while they cook.

The games I'm building

Deep strategy and tactics, for desktop

The heart of the studio: a base-building management sim and a special-operations tactics game, built for desktop. Both are in development, the kind of games I always wanted to make. Follow along and get a heads-up the moment they are playable.

The studio

One developer, building the games I grew up on

Tactical Chicken Studios is a solo operation. I have been a gamer my whole life, hooked on real-time strategy, base-builders, simulators and anything military, and I started making my own games in 2020. This is where I build the games I always wanted to play, inspired by the classics, and put them somewhere anyone can play them for free.
