Meet the people
behind the games.
An independent developer, a growing collection of worlds, and the creative collaborators who help bring them to life.
We aim to make games for the people, not against them.
Players are at the heart of what we create.
About me.
Joe · Founder & lead developer
Joe began developing games on Roblox in 2022 with a project called Humanity Tower Defense. After two years of development without a public release, the game launched on May 6, 2024, reaching more than 50 concurrent players in its first hour.
Months later, Joe moved on from Humanity Tower Defense and began working on Tower Defense R. After 17 months of development, Tower Defense R entered its Beta phase, while work on Paranoia, Cookie, and Freezeria continued steadily in the background.
As of October 2026, Tower Defense R is approaching its largest update yet: the “Hallows Eve” event. Joe plans to pursue game development into adulthood and continues to work diligently on Tower Defense R.

Contractors.
Elm Studio is an independent studio founded by Joe, its lead developer, in August 2026. While Joe works independently on most projects, the studio commissions contractors to contribute to specific parts of its games.
UI designers, artists, musicians, and story writers all help bring our games to life.
