About Digital Continue

Digital Continue is an independent video game development and publishing studio based in New York City. Founded in 2016, it creates original games for PC, consoles and mobile platforms, with an emphasis on distinctive mechanics, emergent play and community participation. Its work spans original intellectual property, established game series and remastering, combining game design and development with independent publishing.

Original games and experimental mechanics

The studio’s original projects explore ways to combine familiar game structures with unusual systems. Released in 2018 with publisher Aspyr Media, Next Up Hero is an isometric arcade action-adventure built around asynchronous cooperation. Its “Community Continue” mechanic turns fallen player characters into AI-controlled echoes that can help subsequent players, connecting individual attempts through a shared gameplay system. Digital Continue also released the streaming-integrated game JumpStream in 2018.

SuperMash launched on the Epic Games Store in December 2019, followed by Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions in 2020. Its central system combines two retro game genres to generate randomized playable mini-games. These combinations draw on genres including role-playing, stealth, action-adventure, platforming and shoot-’em-ups, with cards, objectives and glitches adding further variation.

Remasters and established series

Digital Continue’s debut production was the 2017 remaster of Lock’s Quest, developed with publisher THQ Nordic for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The project adapted the Nintendo DS tower-defense and real-time strategy game for home consoles and computers.

In December 2020, the studio worked with 505 Games on Drawn to Life: Two Realms, a puzzle-platform adventure released for Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS and Android. Together, these projects demonstrate a development practice that encompasses both new gameplay concepts and the adaptation of existing properties across platforms. The studio remains independently operated within New York City’s game development community.
