Who we are

Three developers who like shipping games and web platforms.

Socks Studio is a three-person team based in Cebu: a game developer who also runs our projects, and two full stack developers who move between Unity, Laravel and Next.js as the work demands.

You deal with the people doing the work. We plan in short cycles, show working software early, and stay on through launch and the updates that follow.

Tech stack

Tools we build with

The engines, frameworks and platforms we reach for most. Each one earned its place on real projects.

    Our engine for 2D games on PC, web and Steam, with C# scripting and custom editor tooling.

  • Language

    For Gameplay and tools

    Every system in our games, from combat and inventories to the editor tools we build for ourselves.

  • Platform

    Steam

    For PC releases

    Store pages, builds and updates for finished PC titles, including our own Hero's Warband.

  • Version control

    Git

    For Every build

    Branches per feature and a history we can walk back through when a mechanic stops feeling right.

  • Web framework

    Next.js

    For Sites and SaaS products

    Our default for marketing sites and SaaS products: server rendering, routing and image optimisation built in.

  • Frontend library

    React

    For Web app interfaces

    Component-driven interfaces for web apps and dashboards, written in TypeScript.

  • Backend framework

“Working with Jay was one of the best decisions I’ve made on Fiverr. He’s incredibly talented, reliable, and passionate about what he does. What impressed me most was how deeply he engaged with the vision of my game project, not just executing tasks, but actively thinking along, suggesting improvements, and solving problems before they even arose. Throughout the entire process, Jay communicated clearly, was always responsive, and stayed flexible even when ideas changed or new challenges appeared. The prototype he delivered was exactly what I had envisioned, and beyond that, he showed real initiative and creativity to improve the gameplay.”
