MiRiS Game Making Circle
A gathering place for game developers working through the midnight hours. Design documents, prototypes, and shared resources.
Click to expandMiRiS is a collaborative game development circle focused on creating meaningful interactive experiences. We operate at the intersection of dark-academia aesthetics and modern game design principles.
Our development philosophy emphasizes iterative prototyping, shared tooling, and meticulous documentation. Every game begins as a design document on a midnight desk.
