Below Average Games

Below Average Games, Independent game studio

Low bar. High score.

We named the studio after our expectations, then built a planet anyway. (A tech-demo planet. It still counts.) Below Average Games is an independent game studio, and our first game is in development.

Level 1: The name

Yes, that’s really our name.

We chose it on purpose. It puts the bar on the floor, which leaves plenty of room to clear it.

The name is a joke. The worlds are not.

Fig. 1: Our name sits just below average. Our standards are off the chart. Not to scale.

Level 2: Game one

Our first game is cooking.

It’s in development. It doesn’t have a public name yet, and we’re not saying what it is: partly for the mystery, mostly because we’re busy building it. When there’s something worth showing, we’ll show it. Loudly.

Bonus level: Low Bar

Low bar. High score. Literally.

Our first game isn’t ready. This one is. Clear the bar. It starts on the floor and rises a little every time, which is not what the name promised.
