about us
A cooperatively-owned, democratically operated games studio that focuses on equity for staff, quality for players, and transparency with our partners and supporters everywhere.
Composed of individuals found all over the world, we want to be able to create products that cut across different markets and let our products do the talking for us. Products with reasonable, straightforward pricing, devoid of any micro transactions or RNG heavy mechanics.
Just a handful of us started Bygone back in 2021. Since then, our studio has grown to nearly 20 strong! Folks from all over the world have joined under our banner, including the Philippines, Hong Kong, Canada, and the UK.
But it hasn't been an easy journey...
how we
started
Like many, the pandemic left us out of work or disconnected from friends and family. During those early days, the Aladia project was just a creative outlet for a few of us. We built everything off of the world that our developers created for their 5e table.
After showing the project to some of our friends, they quickly saw the potential, and lent their organizational & artistic minds to our cause. Soon after, we founded Bygone Games as a cooperative enterprise, with an important purpose...
1) Make players all around the world laugh, cheer and tear up at their tables
2) Provide for our families
3) Help change the industry for the better
As a COOPERATIVE, we elect all our leaders, vote together on important issues, and share ownership of the studio between everyone that contributes to our shared success. That means no private owners or shareholders will ever force our hands!
How does that sound?
