About Us
Who we are
We are an independent game studio based in Chicago, IL. Our mission is to unite the art and science of game design; we are constantly improving the games you play.
Find the next great idea
At Iterative Games, we’re not trying to do what everyone has done before better. We are breaking the rules and creating something better.
Work smarter, not harder
At Iterative Games, we believe that ideas and innovation build a great game. We don't need a 100 person team or a 100 million dollars in funding. The number of man-hours spent does not correlate to the quality of your product.
“Five Antonio Salieris won’t produce Mozart’s Requiem. Ever. Not if they work for 100 years.” — Joel Spolsky
Substance over flash, simple is more
The worth of a story being told is never tied to the medium it is housed in. There are no hardware requirements for appreciating a great story. More features don’t make a better game, just a game with more features.
Make ideas reality
At Iterative, we’re looking to make something that you can play. People can’t play ideas. We’re not looking to give you the game with everything; we’re looking to give you a game you will enjoy.
“The most brilliant idea, with no execution, is worth $20… The most brilliant idea takes great execution to be worth $20,000,000.”- Derek Sivers, president and programmer, CD Baby and HostBaby
