Purple Sloth Studio

Purple Sloth Studio is an Indie Game Studio, formed in Berlin in early 2018 and registered as a Genossenschaft in 2021, with the expressed purpose of creating video games (and related media) with a political subtext in a safe and supportive environment. We aim to bring people together in the development process and form a structure that is able to release games commercially as well as non-commercially.

Purple Sloth Studio is an explicitly political Studio that understands itself as queer feminist and emancipatory. We aim to reflect on our positions and privileges, and try to appreciate how they influence our perspectives, and the ones we reproduce in our games.

While we love to play video games we are deeply critical of some of the social dynamics they often display and reproduce and the way they choose to approach certain topics. Nevertheless we see a large potential in video games to include meaningful topics in a playful manner and want to give our best to realize this potential.
