About Gamechuck - Gamechuck Home

We are a video game and hardware developer established in 2017 and based in Zagreb, Croatia.

ABOUT US

We develop a diverse range of products, including both games and gaming hardware. Our game development efforts began with our series of interactive comics, which have since branched of into both retro-styled action games, with Speed Limit, and large-scale narrative-driven adventure games, with Trip the Ark Fantastic.

We develop a diverse range of products, including both games and gaming hardware. Our game development efforts began with our series of interactive comics, but have since branched of into both retro-styled action games, with Speed Limit, and large-scale narrative-driven adventure games, with Trip the Ark Fantastic.

On the hardware front, we are currently developing our own arcade gaming system, the Gamechuck Arcade, inspired by the coin-operated gaming machines of the ‘80s and ’90, that will feature a selection of purpose-made retro games.

Our games and products have been nominated and awarded on many Croatian and international events. From showcasing on events from Reversed Vienna to A-Maze in Johannesburg, as well as being the finalist of Filmteractive Warsaw, AZPlay Bilbao, Casual Connect London, our interactive comics have been the "talk of the town" as an innovative and modern approach to combining gaming and comicbooks.

On the other hand, our Gamechuck Arcades won the Cool Tech Idea on VIDI Innovation Awards, and were presented on many prestige fairs such as the finals of Zagreb Design Week and, along with its flagship title Speed Limit, in the finals od Dreamhack Sweden.

Our newest game Trip the Ark Fantastic is the first and currently only project from Croatia selected by the prestigious MEDIA fund. We have also been recognized and supported by the City of Zagreb, the Ministry of Culture in Croatia, and various international cultural institutions such as Goethe Institute, Institute Francais, Confucius Institute and many more.

We want to keep on making the things we love in a sustainable and productive environment, so we are working hard to foster a healthy gamedev culture - both inside and outside our offices.

HERE ARE THE VALUES WE ARE COMMITTED TO:

SHARING IS CARING
We are currently drafting an agreement with all our employees to share 10% of the company profits among them equally, in addition we offer 10% of the profits from our interactive comics to both the artist and the writer of each comic.

GIVING FULL CREDIT
We give credit where credit is due - everyone who worked on our projects, whether part time or full time is credited, even if a person worked for a very short time and/or is no longer at Gamechuck. See below.

NO CRUNCH
We’re staunchly anti-crunch: our project timelines always include a safety margin for prototyping, testing and debugging to avoid any last-minute panic.

UNION FRIENDLY
Most of our employees are unionized, and we encourage them to be, as we work closely with our union representatives to build a fair and sustainable workplace.

SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
We plan to keep 50% of our profits in the company as a buffer for rainy days, to avoid the practice of layoffs after a bad financial year.

CHAMPIONING OPEN-SOURCE
We are not only sponsors of the open source Godot Engine, Inkle, GamingOnLinux, and the Krita Foundation, but our developers actively contribute to expanding the capabilities of open source code.

PROMOTING EDUCATION
We often hold education programs that promote game development, including a free Godot course at the Game Development Incubator PISMO in Novska and a free game development course in CTK Rijeka.
