A new home for Inner Core Studios
The studio now has a website. Here's what it's for, what's on it, and why every game page looks different.
Until this week, everything about Inner Core Studios lived on other people’s pages: a Steam page here, an App Store listing there, an itch.io project with the free demo. That works right up until someone asks “where can I find out more?” — and the answer is a list of links.
So: innercorestudios.com. One place for all of it.
What’s here
- Games. A page for every released or announced game, with trailers, screenshots and the store links. Atom By Atom and Sum45 are up; the rest show as “Coming soon” until their Steam pages exist. We’d rather show nothing than show something half-finished.
- News for short announcements — festival dates, releases, patches — and this blog for longer pieces about how the games are designed and built.
- Support that actually covers things: where save files live, what to include in a bug report, how refunds work on each store, and a section per game.
- A privacy statement that fits on a napkin, because the games collect nothing.
- Press kits with fact sheets and downloadable art.
Why every game page looks different
Sum45 is a bright, rounded, pastel-blue puzzle app. Atom By Atom is a black screen full of glowing tubes feeding a black hole. Putting both on the same navy template felt like framing two paintings in the same frame because the frame was already paid for.
So each game page carries its own theme — colours, fonts, background — taken from the game itself. The studio’s own look stays for everything else. It’s a small thing, but it means a game page feels like the game before you’ve read a word.
What’s next
Atom By Atom is in Steam Next Fest from 19 to 26 October, with the full release on 3 November. Expect a few posts here about how it was built between now and then.
