Indie games & game tools

Small studio.
Big side quests.

TarSoftware builds the games and game tools we want to play with ourselves: a trading post for survival-game tribes, Durban’s favourite card game online, and a word adventure where spelling is your sword.

Level 1 · The studio

Every great spell starts with a word.

What we’re building

Three worlds, one tiny studio.

House rules

How we play.

  1. 1

    Fair play

    Paying never buys power. In Spell Dungeon everyone shares the same ceiling; only the road there differs.

  2. 2

    Player-made

    GameTradeEngine is an independent fan marketplace: players trading with players, on their own servers.

  3. 3

    Small & curious

    A tiny independent studio building the games and game tools we want to play with ourselves.
