buddycore Studio

Creative ideas,
digitally crafted.

Games, comics and software — all built on the same principle: take a creative idea and craft it into something that feels right. No filler, no trends, no compromise.

Precision over polish.

Feel over feature count.

Ship when it's ready — not when it's due.

Games

F.R.E.D.'s Ascent

2.5D Rage Platformer
Steam (Windows & Linux)

A 2.5D rage platformer about climbing out of a world built to keep you asleep. Hold to charge, release to fly. Nine zones with distinct physics — ice, wind, low gravity — brutal momentum, and a world that rewards patience.

Comics

Buddytoon

Publishing platform for comics & manga
Web (in development)

A publishing platform for comics and manga with a reader-centric donation model: reading stays free, support reaches the creator directly — no paywall between a curious reader and the first chapter. Concept, brand and platform are in active development and will ship when they are ready.

Software

BESTIMATE

Planning Poker Web App
Browser (Desktop & Mobile)

Free planning poker for agile teams — no sign-up, no accounts, trilingual (EN/DE/FR). Create a room, share the link or QR code, and estimate together in real time: eleven card decks (one per estimation method, from Fibonacci to Fist of Five and NoEstimates), secret votes with a synchronized reveal, live stats, timers, and a round history with PDF, CSV and Jira exports. Rooms are ephemeral by design — empty rooms delete themselves two hours after the last activity.

Fate's Throw

Web App
Browser (Desktop & Mobile)

A physics-based 3D dice roller with fantasy flair. Every die — D4 to D20, up to sixty at once — is a real rigid body in a real-time simulation: it tumbles, collides and settles the way dice actually do. Eight table styles, two dice towers with see-through mode, four languages. Simple idea, obsessive execution.

About

buddycore Studio is the creative digital division of buddycore. We build games, comics and digital tools — all from the same place: a small, independent studio where every decision is intentional and every release is something we actually stand behind. Feel always comes before feature count.

We don't have a roadmap of fifty projects. We have a handful in progress and a few already live. That's how we work: focused, deliberate, no noise. Indie independence — no publisher, no compromises.
