Independent game studio — active since 2001
Making reality better than the fantasy.
Proverbs, LLC designs and builds original interactive entertainment — VR combat, procedurally generated worlds, and games built for the body as much as the thumbs.
Current builds
What we’re making
Status reflects active development as of this build cycle.
In Development
3Z Incursion (Redux)
Meta Quest — Coming 2026
A full rebuild of our original VR title: dual-sword rhythm combat against mutant pigeons, zombie brutes, and chihuahuas of unusual size. Load your own music — the game spawns enemies to the beat.
In Development
Omega Connection
Windows PC
A fantasy action RPG built around procedurally generated worlds. Our poly-voxel land generation engine is the backbone — built in-house, written about at length on the devlog.
Concept
Codename: IronBlood
Virtual Reality
A first-person shooter designed specifically around VR headset game play. Early-stage design, shaped by VR research geared towards turning the immersion of donning a headset into the plausibility of putting you center stage.
The studio
Two decades, one company
Proverbs started as a general software development company, not a game studio. That heritage still shapes how we build — fewer assumptions borrowed from other games, more systems built from scratch when an off-the-shelf answer doesn’t fit.
In 2016, after fifteen years writing software, we turned the company toward games full-time. The first release was 3Z Incursion, a Google Cardboard VR title that tackled motion sickness in VR head-on rather than designing around it — opening the experience to players who’d been shut out of the genre entirely.
We’re a small, independent team. No publisher breathing down our neck, no quarterly roadmap built for investors. Just games we’d want to play ourselves, built properly or not at all.
