About Ioncom

Ioncom is an independent video game studio founded in 2023, and is currently specializing in 2D action and adventure games for Windows and Linux platforms. We believe that games should return to a time of simplicity, and that doesn’t mean having a retro asthetic. Our games are created as products, not services. We promise to never include DRM, telemetry, microtransactions, or paid subscriptions, even if we somehow got big. We still believe that there is a market for these kind of games.

Our Principles

• Our games are products, not services - No DRM, telemetry, microtransactions, paid subscriptions, and/or dependency on centralized servers, ever.
• Low system requirements - Our games should be able to run on a toaster.
• Our games are made "from scratch" - We develop our own engines to ensure as much control over the development of our games as possible.
• GNU+Linux support - We strive to support FOSS operating systems like GNU+Linux and possibly even obscure platforms like SerenityOS.

The Name

We wanted our name to have a retro feel to it. We were inspired by companies who use -com as a suffix. We were also inspired by futuristic names of older companies, so we decided to use ion- as a prefix to make it sound scientific and futuristic.
