How this started

The idea

Man Made Software started in August 2023 as a way for its creator, Damián Martínez, to show the world what he likes making in his spare time. It shipped its first game, a small Android title called Pocket Golf, the following month.

The philosophy

After years around video games, we noticed the industry heading toward something like the crash of 1983 — companies focused on capital, and barely on what a game is actually for. An industry with nothing left to sell but ways to squeeze one more cent out of the player.

The goal

We want to make games with the care they deserve — man-made — without loot boxes or an absurd pile of ads that ruin the experience of the one thing this is all built for: the player.

Who's behind it

Damián Martínez builds these games in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The studio's name is meant literally: everything here was made by hand, by one person, with no publisher and no investors deciding what a level should cost.
