NexusGameWorks is a Sydney-based studio shipping original titles, co-development, and live-ops for PC, console, and mobile — engineered on Unreal and Unity, tuned until they feel right.
The Enmore Road workshop — playtest bay and engine floor
The Studio
A small crew with a shipping habit
Founded on Enmore Road in 2016, NexusGameWorks grew from a two-person prototyping desk into a 14-person studio that has shipped nine titles across Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the App Store. We keep the team deliberately small so designers, engineers, and artists sit within arm's reach of each other.
We take on a handful of projects each year — original IP we fund ourselves and co-development work for partners who need a team that can own gameplay, tools, and live-ops end to end. Every build ships through our own QA lab before it ever reaches a store page.

How We Work
Six stops from pitch to launch
Every engagement runs on the same route. Clear stations, honest checkpoints, and a playable build at each stop so you always know where the project stands.
- 1Week 1
Discovery & Pitch
A one-week workshop to define the fantasy, audience, and platform. You leave with a design pillar doc and a rough cost map.
- 2Weeks 2–6
Vertical Slice
We build one polished slice of core gameplay — controls, feel, and a single environment — to prove the fun before scaling.
- 3Months 2–8
Production
Content, systems, and tools built in two-week sprints. Weekly playable builds land in your inbox every Friday.
- 4Months 8–10
Alpha & Balance
Feature-complete build. We run structured playtests from our Enmore lab and tune difficulty, economy, and pacing.
- 5Months 10–12
Certification & Launch
Platform submission, store assets, and day-one patch. We handle Steam, Switch, and mobile cert paperwork.
- 6Ongoing
Live-Ops
Post-launch seasons, patches, and telemetry-driven updates to keep your community playing well past release week.

What we own end to end
Hover any card to see how we deliver. From first prototype to a live game with a season roadmap, it all happens under one roof.
Original IP
Self-funded titles we design, build, and publish.
We greenlight one or two original games a year, fund the vertical slice ourselves, and pitch to publishers with a playable in hand.
Co-Development
Bolt a shipping-grade team onto your project.
Gameplay, tools, and content support that plugs into your pipeline — source control, code standards, and sprint rhythm matched to your studio.
Live-Ops & Ports
Keep a released game growing and everywhere.
Seasonal content, balance patches, and platform ports to Switch, PlayStation, and mobile — driven by telemetry, not guesswork.
