About Foxie Games
Foxie Games is an independent Australian game development and publishing studio based in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 2016, it also operates and publishes under the Foxie Ventures brand. Its work centres on multiplayer simulation games, animal role-playing adventures and equestrian virtual worlds for mobile devices and PC.
The studio develops original intellectual property for audiences with specific interests, particularly horse riding and wild animal simulation. Its games combine interactive 3D environments with exploration, social play and activities such as animal care, riding, ranch building and character customisation. This focus on niche communities shapes a portfolio that spans equestrian adventures, prehistoric survival, wildlife role-playing and open-world life simulation.
Games and virtual worlds
Horse Riding Tales, the studio's flagship equestrian multiplayer game, surpassed 10 million downloads. Its wider portfolio includes Star Equestrian, which combines horse riding with jumping, cross-country activities and ranch building; Wolf Tales, a multiplayer animal adventure; and Dino Tamers, a dinosaur-taming survival game. Other releases explore magical horse adventures, horse breeding and racing, aquarium simulation, and avatar-based social worlds.
Across its games, the studio has accumulated more than 100 million downloads. Its distribution spans iOS, Android, Amazon Appstore and Steam, with individual titles available on different combinations of platforms.
Development and ongoing operations
Foxie Games brings together game design and engineering, client and server programming, 2D and 3D art, animation, and interface design. Its production capabilities extend from early prototypes through publishing and ongoing live service management.
Community engagement, player support and continuing updates form part of its operating approach. Alongside creating new games, the studio maintains existing virtual worlds through live operations and product development. Its publishing work includes distribution and monetisation, supporting an original-game business that combines development with the continuing operation of its releases.
