10+ years in games · A playable first version in days
For players
Original games
Browser games, couch co-op and experiments. We start small, watch people play, and put more behind the few that work.
play.joto.games → For organisationsApplied games
Training, onboarding and decisions, modelled as something people can try. Start with a prototype, not a production commitment.
joto.games/applied →Selected work
Current experiments and products. None of these are client case studies.

What we learn
You see where it breaks.
JoTo Party
One TV, every phone is a controller. Open a room, friends join with a four-letter code, and the couch plays together.
party.joto.games →JoTo Play
Browser games that run with nothing to install. Party titles, arcade experiments, and the studio’s public shelf.
play.joto.games →Applied prototypes
The same production pipeline, pointed at an organisational challenge. Ten working days to a link you can try.
joto.games/applied →Start small.
Learn before committing.
JoTo combines more than ten years of game-industry experience with a rapid production pipeline. Clients and players both get a working experience quickly, without a large bet up front.
The value is faster learning, experienced judgment, and less project risk — not a cheaper substitute for making something well.
About Tom and JoTo
JoTo is an independent game studio led by Tom, a game designer and developer with more than ten years of industry experience. He has worked across studios, entrepreneurship programmes and incubators including Dutch Game Garden and Game Brussels.
Every engagement is led directly by Tom. The studio stays small on purpose, so the person you brief is the person who builds.

The useful first step is a conversation. No commitment attached.
