Mojopin Studios

Mojopin Studios was an independent video game developer based in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Founded in 2014 by Peadar McMahon, it focused on Gaelic football simulation for PC and home consoles. Its principal project, All Star Gaelic Football, sought to bring Gaelic athletic sports back to commercial video games after a long gap in dedicated releases.

Development began around 2013–2014 using the Unity game engine, and the project attracted Irish media coverage in June 2014. The studio combined game design, 3D character modelling, motion capture, physics and artificial intelligence to develop its sports simulation prototype. These capabilities supported its own game development rather than an advertised external production service.

A Gaelic football simulation

All Star Gaelic Football aimed to reproduce the movement, kicking mechanics and flow of Gaelic football matches. Professional motion capture with inter-county players formed part of its development, grounding the prototype’s animation in the movements of practising athletes. The planned game targeted Gaelic football enthusiasts across computer and console platforms, but it did not reach commercial release.

The business incorporated in Northern Ireland in February 2017. In April 2018, Mojopin Studios launched a Kickstarter campaign to finance completion of the game. The campaign ended unsuccessfully the following month, after which active development ceased and the studio entered an extended period of dormancy.

Mojopin Studios was formally dissolved on 16 April 2024 following compulsory strike-off. Its history is therefore that of an independent development effort and an unreleased sports simulation, rather than a released commercial game catalogue.
