ArtDock

ArtDock is an independent Moldovan game developer and publisher creating original PC and console games from concept through release. Operating through Societatea cu Răspundere Limitată ARTDOCK COMPANY, the studio moved into full-cycle development and publishing in 2023 after beginning as a local indie-focused initiative.

Its production pipeline combines concept development, 2D and 3D art, modelling, texturing, animation, shader work, Unity programming, physics tuning, post-processing and multiplatform porting. ArtDock develops gameplay ranging from cooperative physics-based action puzzles to 3D adventure and turn-based tactical roguelikes, while also handling publishing, distribution, marketing, community management and event showcases.

The studio's debut commercial title, SOS OPS!, is a cooperative physics-based action game released on Steam in November 2023, followed by console releases and downloadable content. Its subsequent projects include the 3D adventure Penguin Helper, the tactical roguelike Lootbound, and cooperative title Pao Pao. Murder Avenue has been announced as an in-development project.

ArtDock publishes across PC and console storefronts including Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Its work is supported by in-house production and porting capabilities, with Dreland Enterprises serving as a publishing associate on selected releases.
