About Pixelmatic
Pixelmatic is an independent game development studio founded in 2011 by Samson Mow. Based in Shanghai with an operating presence in Vancouver and a distributed international team, it develops online games, mobile applications and interactive experiences. Its work spans original game development, live operations and digital asset economies, with an emphasis on socially engaging multiplayer experiences.
The studio initially focused on casual and social mobile games, including the original puzzle title Gem Wizard and games associated with entertainment properties. It subsequently expanded into technical operations for live-service games. Its contribution to Super Evil Megacorp’s Vainglory involved Asian technical operations and live-operations infrastructure, rather than development of the original game.
Games and connected experiences
Pixelmatic’s principal project is Infinite Fleet, a science-fiction massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game for PC. Developed in Unity, it combines anime-inspired visuals, procedural galaxy exploration and a player-directed narrative. Players command fleets against an alien threat known as the Atrox, with the project drawing inspiration from space games such as Homeworld and EVE Online.
The studio is the game’s developer and intellectual property owner. Its work also includes Infinite Fleet Companion, a mobile application for fleet management available on iOS and Android. Together, these projects reflect the company’s capabilities across PC games, mobile engineering and connected game systems.
Interactive production and operations
Beyond its own games, Pixelmatic has applied its development capabilities to virtual events and supporting web infrastructure. It created a custom full-VR conference environment for the Magical Crypto Conference in 2020 and developed web infrastructure and NFT ticketing for the science-fiction film project Silhouettes.
Its broader capabilities include game design, 3D art, engine production, regional server infrastructure and ongoing game operations. The company also works on blockchain integration and tokenized economies, connecting conventional game production with systems for player-to-player digital asset exchange.
