Work for Hire
Purple Pwny is a two person full-service independent video game studio. We develop our own IP side by side with the IP of our clients. Our size is one of our greatest assets—offering you the perfect balance of flexibility, affordability, and style. Our indie aesthetic and work ethic is unmatched. You won't find another studio that will work as hard for you as we will.
All work is done in-house, saving you time and money. We are always available to chat, and can collaborate with you to tailor solutions that fit your budget and goals.
The following is a non-exhaustive showcase of projects we've been involved with; it serves to demonstrate the breadth of capacities in which we've contributed.

Put our manifest expertise to work for you.
Advergaming
Advergaming is the fusion of advertising with video games; it's marketing made interactive. Advergames allow organizations to truly engage their audience in ways consistently proven to be more effective than passive old-media advertising.
- Advergames can retain a user's attention for longer than a print ad, banner ad, or television spot, with average play times generally exceeding 15 minutes.
- Advergames have a long shelf life; they aren't something that you throw away or have to buy again when your campaign ends.
- Advergames are ready whenever and wherever the player is.
- Advergames are rewarding and associate your brand with enjoyment in the player's mind.
Traditional advertisements are frequently seen as a black box into which money is funneled, and whose true efficacy is notoriously difficult to measure. Advergames, on the other hand, can be outfitted with extensive analytics that provide measurements of exactly how effective your game is at converting users into leads, and, ultimately, into paying customers.
Purple Pwny has the experience to help you achieve your advertising goals for considerably less than you might think.
