Founded in 2020 by a passionate team of eight graduates, our studio has evolved into a thriving multi-studio collective. Today, we are a proud $12.5M AUD enterprise employing 15 amazingf creatives, driving innovation from our roots in South Australia.

While our foundation was built on creating novel, engaging casual and arcade mobile games, our capabilities have scaled dramatically. Over the past five years, we have successfully launched multiple titles on Steam and delivered dozens of high-impact projects for a diverse clientele—ranging from local SMEs to global organisations.

As we grow, our core philosophy remains unchanged. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, people-first culture and lifting the South Australian games industry to new heights. no matter the task, we bring the same passion, creativity, and precision to everything we build.

My Role in the Mammoth Group

As managing director and the senior developer on the team, I have spent the last five years providing the strategic vision and creative leadership that scaled Mini Mammoth Games into a thriving multi-studio collective.

My responsibilites spanned the entire game production lifecycle, blending executive project management with hands-on development. I was the Lead Game Designer and Product Manager for multiple projects, championing concepts from initial ideation through prototyping to commercial release across iOS, Android, and Steam.

Beyond creative direction, I served as the studio's product owner and account manager, managing client relations for both SMEs and global corporate partners, while orchestrating our B2B trade marketing and securing critical government and private sector backing to sustain our pipeline.

The Business Goals

Our objective has always been to champion the growth and sustainability of the South Australian games industry. We actively advance this by providing local talent, founders, and contractors with critical, high-impact industry experience and robust portfolio-building opportunities.

Guided by our core pillars of Honesty, Integrity, Compassion, and Respect, we are dedicated to cultivating a mature, inclusive, and people-first development culture that sets a higher standard for the local development ecosystem.

Our Strategy

To facilitate our vision, we initially adopted an agile "fail fast" production strategy tailored for maximum portfolio growth and talent upskilling. By leveraging short development cycles, we focused on producing accessible, minimum viable products (MVPs) within the casual and arcade mobile sectors—designed as rough, mostly complete core loops capable of future scaling. This high-velocity pipeline allowed us to quickly test market validation and mitigate risk. In our first year we settled on creating a launch-ready cohort of eight commercial titles from these MVP’s. This provided our team with rapid, end-to-end develoment experience we could leverage in the future.

Five years later, this iterative philosophy has matured into a robust, scalable framework that drives our large-scale, multi-year projects and Steam releases. By pushing our early MVP mindset into a robust milestone and prototyping pipeline, we maintain the same risk mitigation, rapid validation, and high-speed adaptability across complex, long-term productions. This ensures that even our most expansive corporate and commercial titles remain highly optimized, aligned with market demands, and anchored in budget efficiency from pre-production to global launch.
