TILTPENGUIN

A scrappy solo game studio powered by delusion.

Everything here is open source and free, so I can break things and you can fix them 😊

ABOUT TILTPENGUIN

TILTPENGUIN IS A BOOTSTRAP GAME STUDIO RUN BY EXACTLY ONE PERSON.

BUILT ON SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, A LOT OF MISPLACED CONFIDENCE AND AN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH GIT RESTORE.

EVERYTHING MADE HERE IS FREE AND OPEN BY DESIGN, BECAUSE THINGS ARE ALWAYS MORE FUN WHEN YOU HAVE A 20 SOMETHING YEAR OLD YOU CAN LAUGH AT.

PRINCIPLES

OPEN SOURCE

Every project lives on GitHub. Take it, remix it, laugh at it (not too loud), and maybe fix it if you're feeling generous.

FUN FIRST

I suck at art, so mechanics always lead the way. Graphics stumble behind and play awkward catchup.

SOLO POWERED

All bugs get promoted as "features." Every messy decision is canon now, and yes, that really is my official dev process.

BUGS WELCOME

Big visions start small and scrappy — and honestly, they'll probably stay that way. But that's the charm of it (I think).

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Chinmay. I've built games for brand events and companies, but TiltPenguin is where I get loose, get messy, and make the kind of odd little experiments I actually want to play.

SUPERPOWER

Turning barely baked ideas into barely playable demos.

GOAL

Games that surprise, delight and maybe confuse you (and me as well).

WEAKNESS

Fixing bugs I accidentally start to like (they grow on me). And cookies.

PHILOSOPHY

If it's not fun to make, it won't be fun to play. Also, penguins make everything better.

When I'm not wrangling code, I'm usually breaking it on purpose just to see what happens. This site is literally just a museum of prototypes, mistakes and happy accidents (shout out Bob Ross).

GAMES THAT RAISED ME

SCROLL TO SWAP CARTRIDGES ↓

TiltPenguin wouldn`'t exist without these:

Minecraft

I've owned this game on every device that could run it (and a few that really couldn't) (shout out PSP homebrew). I've liked games before, but Minecraft is what truly kickstarted my love for creating worlds when I was 10 years old. I spent hours making pixel art of my favorite characters, building a 1:1 scale version of my old home before it was demolished, and binge-watching Stampy and Squid's adventure maps, immediately trying (and failing) to recreate something similar because I was just a 10 year with the attention span of a goldfish. Minecraft changed everything for me. I hope something I create one day can do the same for a 10-year-old somewhere as this game did for me.
