Who We Are
Built by developers.
Driven by games.
Funnan Software is a startup made up of experienced C++ industry professionals who spent their careers building serious software — and decided it was time to build something fun.
Our Story
We came up through the industry writing C++ — shipping performance-critical systems, tools, and applications where correctness and efficiency weren't optional. Over the years we accumulated a deep bench of technical expertise, but we kept coming back to the same question: what if we applied all of this to making games?
Funnan Software is the answer to that question. We're a small, focused team that brings a professional software engineering mindset to game development. That means deliberate architecture, tight iteration loops, and a genuine obsession with how things feel to play — not just how they look on a feature list.
Our first title, Briarthorn, is a situational awareness fighter RPG built around flying unique aircraft classes through enemies, challenges, and puzzles — solo or alongside a team. It's the kind of game we always wanted to play, so we decided to make it ourselves.
What We Stand For
Craft Over Hype
We ship software the way engineers do — carefully, with an eye toward longevity. No crunch-driven shortcuts, no feature bloat. Just well-built games.
Small Team, Big Ambition
Being a startup means every person on the team matters. We move fast, stay lean, and hold ourselves to the same standards we kept in industry.
Community First
We're building in public and growing alongside our players. Your feedback shapes what we make — and we're always listening.
