Our mission
Small and mid-sized studios no longer need (or are able to get :) oversized budgets or restrictive publisher deals to compete. At Torfware, we're here to tackle the final barrier: platform porting, the technical maze that still trips up even the most talented teams
Today's tools let small teams build incredible experiences, but porting remains a walled garden of SDKs, certifications, and platform quirks. Too many developers still assume they need to partner with big publishers just to ship on consoles or storefronts. We're here to dismantle that myth
Indie publishers, we've got your back too: Whether you're juggling multiple projects or need a reliable partner to get titles across the finish line, we handle the technical heavy lifting so you can focus on marketing and community building.
