Tangle Mind Games

Tangle Mind Games is an independent video game development studio creating original PC and indie-game intellectual property. Its principal project is AutoCard, an in-development fantasy auto-battler and roguelite built in Unity.

The studio’s game design centers on systems-led play: auto-battler mechanics, deck-building, hero customization, item alteration, relic synergies, and meta-progression. AutoCard combines tactical combat with a branching hexagonal exploration map, giving players room to experiment with builds and long-term strategy.

Development focus

The team works on gameplay and production areas including:

• Roguelike and roguelite system design
• Theorycrafting-oriented combat and progression systems
• Stylized 3D game art and environment creation
• Character animation and rigging
• Unity Engine development

Tangle Mind Games operates as a self-directed developer rather than a work-for-hire, co-development, or outsourcing provider. Its small, fully remote production model combines a core design and development team with contract creative specialists as needed.

The studio has documented AutoCard’s development through public updates covering combat encounters, item mechanics, and its Explore Mode. It was also recruiting a contract Lead Game Artist in 2026 to support 3D environment work, animation integration, and visual polish for the project.
