Indie game studio

A bit of joy for a world that could use more.

We’re AssurePath Games, a small independent studio. Two games are in development right now: a British life sim and a harbour docking game.

In development

Two worlds in the making.

One is a British town where life happens at your pace. The other is a painted harbour where every boat needs a berth, and every dent costs you. Trailers are on the way.

  • Make a homeDecorate your flat Animal Crossing-style. The cosier it is, the better you sleep.
  • Jobs you actually doDrive the parcel van round town or work shifts at Café Rosa. Fall behind on rent and the letters start arriving.
  • Neighbours and familySeven neighbours to pop round to for a brew, Maureen next door who notices everything, and Mum in the family group chat.

A painted harbour docking game. Take the helm for the harbour master’s jobs, from a little launch in the marina to a 70 m container ship arriving at night.

  • A real helm and telegraphThe wheel stays where you leave it, the telegraph runs from Full astern to Full ahead, and the wind pushes you sideways.
  • Five boats that handle differentlyLittle Wren, Marigold the trawler, Puffin the island ferry, Kittiwake the coaster and the Northern Star.
  • Every dent comes off your feeEach job pays a berthing fee, and the harbour master deducts every scrape. Big knocks hole the hull.
  • Tie up, then unloadYour crew throw the lines, you tie the knots, then crane the catch and the containers ashore.

The studio

Small studio. A little more fun in the world.

We make small, cheerful games. Things to pick up after a long day that leave you in a slightly better mood than when you started. We build in the open and keep adding to each game as people play it.

Kettle Street and Lantern Quay are our first two projects. There’s plenty more where they came from.
