Mi'pu'mi Games

Mi'pu'mi Games is an independent video game development and engineering studio based in Vienna, Austria. Founded in 2009, it combines original game creation with technical co-development for international publishers and development teams. Its work spans narrative adventures, tactical games and engineering contributions to large-scale productions across PC, consoles and mobile platforms.

The studio follows two complementary production tracks: developing its own intellectual properties and embedding specialists within partner projects. Its co-development work covers systems and engine programming, rendering, performance optimization, interface implementation and platform adaptation. Teams work with proprietary C++ engines as well as Unreal Engine and Unity, supporting projects through technical augmentation, tooling, consulting and full-cycle production.

Technical collaboration

Mi'pu'mi has a sustained collaboration with IO Interactive across the Hitman franchise, including console remasters, technology support and engineering contributions to subsequent releases. Its portfolio also includes rendering, optimization and interface programming for 007 First Light.

Other collaborations include proprietary engine and interface work on Remedy Entertainment's Alan Wake 2, engineering support for Control, and platform porting and engine systems work for MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The studio has also contributed to Ubisoft productions including Anno 1800 Console Edition, The Settlers: New Allies and Skull and Bones. These assignments range from adapting games for additional platforms to extending the technical capacity of established development teams.

Original games

Alongside partner projects, Mi'pu'mi develops games with distinct narrative and visual approaches. The Lion's Song is an episodic narrative adventure released across 2016–2017, while The Flower Collectors is a detective thriller set in 1970s Barcelona. Howl, released in 2023 with astragon Entertainment, presents a turn-based tactical folktale through a living-ink visual style. Its original portfolio also includes Black Jacket.

This combination of original production and external collaboration gives the studio experience both in shaping complete games and in delivering specialized engineering within larger productions.
