01
Applications
アプリケーション
Small, self-contained software for people who will use it every day. Built to work offline where offline matters, and to still run in ten years. We publish these ourselves rather than build them to order.
Ludofax
Applied research & development
ルドファクス
Applied research, shipped as products.
Ludofax is an independent research and development house. We work on how interactive software is designed, built and operated — then we ship what we learn as products of our own, under our own imprints. Four divisions, one method: build the durable layer first, and keep everything above it replaceable.

What we work on
Four standing divisions. Work moves between them on purpose — what one division proves, another ships.
02
Games
ゲーム
Original interactive work, and the production systems that make it repeatable rather than heroic. Design-led, and running on a substrate we control from the renderer up.
03
Systems
システム
The layer underneath everything else — deterministic runtimes, content pipelines, and the internal tooling that lets a very small group work at a scale it has no business working at.
04
Machine Intelligence
機械知能
Applied work on machine-assisted production: agents, harnesses, and the evaluation that keeps them honest. Research earns its place here by shipping, not by demonstrating.
How we work
01
Build right, not fast
One thing done properly outlasts ten shallow layers. We port proven work forward rather than restarting it, and we resist motion that isn't progress.
02
Substrate first
Own the durable layer; keep the fast-moving parts swappable. Tooling changes every few months — the things we build on top of it should not have to.
03
Capture, learn, apply
Every cycle ends by folding what worked back into the next one. The method is recursive, and we apply it to the studio as readily as to the products.
04
Honesty over impressiveness
We keep a hard line between what is built and what is planned, and we say which is which. A conservative true number beats a generous vague one, internally as much as externally.
05
Direction stays human
Machines execute; the judgment is ours. We are careful never to mistake throughput for taste, and we do not ship work we would not put our own name on.
Enquiries
We are quiet about work in progress and selective about what we take on. If you have a reason to talk, write plainly — you will get a plain answer back.
