AgentGameLab · A super team built to ship crafted games at volume
Big talent Tiny team
Three people, each raising an Agent partner as their own amplifier — and every partner shares one team memory. The moment one of us breaks a ceiling, that ceiling becomes everyone's starting line. Information gaps are gone at the root, and the humans are left with the thinking and the calls.The free Chess of the Hidden Gates demo is live on Steam in ten languages; full release Q4 2026.
Three core members, each paired with a dedicated AI partner. Design, systems, publishing, art, economy, QA — the whole loop closes inside this trio. All three come from the same top-tier listed game company, full-time since August 2026. Three is the current size, not the end state — we scale the super-organization way, not by headcount.

What this way of working is called
An Agent-native super-organization
We've worked this way since March 2026. It is not "everyone uses AI" — it is five things meshing together:
01
Multi-human, multi-agent collaboration
Not everyone with their own chatbot. Each person has a primary AI partner; the partners talk to each other, delegate to each other, and cross-check — no human relay in the middle.
02
Shared team memory
One person's hard-won lesson is instantly queryable by the whole team and every partner. When someone else's agent gets smarter, yours does too — we aren't each raising our own AI, we're raising the same set of partners together.
03
Always-on agent infrastructure
Partners live in the background and pick up their own work. At 3 a.m., tests are running, assets are rendering, research is being digested, reports are being written.
04
People defined by six dimensions
No legacy job titles. Direction / Foundations / Breakthroughs / Cross-transfer / Orchestration / Delivery — where each person carries weight is explicit, so roles never collide and growth stays visible.
05
Humans discuss intent, not implementation
People own intent, trade-offs and taste; execution goes to the partners. Human hours are spent only on judgment — that's what removes the ceiling on output.

So the flywheel turns
Shared memory makes the partners feed each other; infrastructure means no one waits on a human; six dimensions keep roles clean. Every turn: thicker libraries, stronger partners, faster next game. The games we ship are samples of this org design.
A roguelike deckbuilder where every card is a Chinese chess move: the horse leaps, the cannon fires over a screen, the pawn crosses the river and never turns back. Every enemy strike marks its target square first. Step aside and it misses. Breach the Eight Gates. Play, or be taken.
Three pieces, three ways to play: the Horse Master builds Momentum, the Pawn Commander goes Steadfast, the Cannon Adept fires Relay shots across the board. Nine Star bosses across three acts each rewrite the rules, all the way to the remnant soul of Chiyou. Self-developed and self-published in 10 languages; the free demo is live on Steam, online co-op is in development, and the full game releases Q4 2026.

A Board You Can Hear
The sound of a cannonball follows its arc. Wind-up, muzzle, drop, impact — four segments recorded separately, eleven files composing a single shot. Thirty categories of action sound effects, each with three or more variants; the same move repeated three times never sounds the same.
Chinese chess moves had no established English terms. The team coined a set — H-leap for the knight's move, Relay for the cannon's screen jump. About 50,000 characters of original Chinese text, over 10,000 translated strings across ten languages.
Figures from the October 2026 development build and the July demo; final numbers are whatever ships.

04The engine both lines share
What we're really building is a flywheel
Staff up, burn for three years, bet everything on one launch date — that's the industry's old play. We don't run it. The tools written for the last game and the publishing route it carved are ready on day one of the next. The more we ship, the faster the next one comes — that's the flywheel. The game is the deliverable; the pipeline is the asset.
Every tool it throws off flows back and spins it faster (illustrative)
What settles isn't just tools — it's design principles themselves.
Dozens of automated tasks tear down games and digest research every day, and the conclusions land straight in team memory. We work from first principles and write down the causal chain behind every call — why this design, why not that one. What we're really doing is raising AI partners into game-design experts stronger than ourselves.
Six libraries that only get thicker
— Teardown library
How others made it work, on file
Games, open-source repos, publishing and marketing plays — torn down daily into structured entries. Next decision of the same kind starts from the library, not from guessing.
— Memory library
Decisions, lessons, methods
Every team judgment lands with its causal chain, queryable by every AI partner. Before it, our AI routinely made things up on proprietary-knowledge questions; after, it answers or says it can't.
— Model & motion library
Characters, scenes, mocap
Models, rigs and captured motion enter one library and get reused across projects. The next game's characters don't start from a lump of clay.
— VFX library
What the pipeline produces
Assets from the automated VFX pipeline, catalogued by type. The next project pulls them off the shelf — no queueing behind a human.
— Audio library
Voices and sounds
Timbres, SFX and voice assets shared across games — no re-recording per title.
— Art library
Concepts and visual assets
Concept art, key art and UI assets archived with status flags — what's usable and what's retired, at a glance.
Four layers, nine pipelines
Layers are capability, pipelines are the production line, libraries are stock. Pipelines run on the layers, output settles into the libraries, and the next game pulls straight from there.
01 · Protocol layer
Swap the model, keep the workflow
Every agent plugs in through the same interface. Use one model today, a different one tomorrow — not a line of the workflow above it has to change.
02 · Always-on layer
Nobody has to watch it
Agents live in the background, each with its own task queue. Once work is queued you stop minding it — you go to sleep, it keeps going.
03 · Knowledge layer
Check the library, then act
Every conclusion settles into the library together with the causal chain behind it. Once connected, the AI stops inventing answers about our proprietary knowledge — and says so when it doesn't know. This memory system is open source.
04 · Engine layer
Source edit to rebuild: 8–11 seconds
Our own engine. From editing a line of source to a finished rebuild takes 8–11 seconds, so iteration never stalls on compile time.
Pipeline · Art assets
Concept art in, usable assets out
Three run in parallel: concept art to production-ready assets, design sheets to movable parts, concept art to rigged 3D creatures.
Pipeline · Worlds
One establishing shot, a whole area
An establishing concept painting mass-produces stylized 3D environments; a second track generates open-world terrain procedurally.
Pipeline · Animation & VFX
Describe it, get the effect
Animation retargeting and rigging toolchain, text description straight to VFX, cross-engine effect porting. Artists stop queueing behind each other.
Pipeline · Trailers & UI
Even the trailer is generated
Deterministic in-engine shot-by-shot capture — the same camera script yields the same cut every run; IP-styled icons end to end.
Nine pipelines, most of them running; the creature-asset pipeline is still being built.
One national invention patent pending.
When others finish a game, they have a game. When we finish one, we have a game plus six thicker libraries. And this system isn't only ours to use.
05Talent incubation · Cells
Sign, train, debut as a cell
There is nothing left in this era that one person can't make. What's scarce isn't ability — it's attention. You only get so much of it in a day, and where it goes decides how far you get. So what we give you is two things: exactly the attention you don't have, and the knowledge assets we've been stacking up all along. We grow our own cells the way an agency grows its artists: we sign people who can direct agents and take them through the whole way we work. At debut you form a cell — three to five people, each with their own AI partners — running a product line of your own, with revenue shared by a set mechanism. The three of us are the first cell.
Complementary attention
The part you're not good at — and shouldn't be spending time on — goes to the people and partners who are. Your attention stays on the calls only you can make.
Knowledge assets
Every pothole the team hit and every solution it found, organized into a system you can query. We use it every day.
Capacity
Reusable asset libraries, compute and tool licenses, plus AI partners living in the background — repetitive work and scheduling stop being your problem.
Publishing
Self-developed and self-published; Chess of the Hidden Gates ships in 10 languages, at home and abroad. When the work is done, this system takes it the rest of the way to players.
This is how we grow capacity: one more cell, one more product line.
