Too tired to quit.

Dark mode. Questionable sleep schedules. Good games.

We make the games we want to play.

Dog Tired Studios is an independent game development team focused on crafting games with depth, personality, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

We're a small pack with big ideas—building games that respect your time and your intelligence.

"We believe the best games come from developers who actually want to play what they're making. So that's what we do."

Ledger of the Guild

A fantasy management game where you don't slay monsters—you balance the books.

Heroes come to you for funding before they ever step into a dungeon, and their success—or failure—depends on how well you allocate gold, manage wages, and plan for risk. Every coin spent is a bet on survival, reputation, and long-term sustainability.

As the guild's accountant and quartermaster, you oversee the financial fallout of heroic quests: bounties earned, gear destroyed, potions consumed, injuries sustained, and the occasional resurrection fee. Push too hard and the guild may collapse under audits, lawsuits, or mass resignations.

Victory isn't measured by dragons slain—but by whether the guild still exists tomorrow.
