Northgate

Independent  /  Small team  /  Long view

We build things that are finished, not just launched.

About

One name for everything we make. One standard for how well we make it.

Northgate is the independent company behind Joelin Studios. It gives small projects a shared home, and room to grow into something bigger than a side project.

We start small on purpose, finish what we start, and put the work in front of people early.

Principles

How we work

Finish things

One polished project beats ten rough ones. We cut scope before we cut quality.

Small on purpose

A small team moves fast and stays accountable. We add people when the work calls for it.

Show the work

We build in public, share devlogs and listen to the people who play and use what we make.
