Myriam runs everything around the work: the community, communications, and the books. The studio holds together because she does.

Indie on purpose.

Indie means every decision is the studio's to make and to answer for. The Souk Galaxy sells software you pay for once and keep: no subscriptions, no cloud. Najim believes the tools a pipeline depends on should be ownable by the people who use them, and that indie developers should be able to make a living building exactly that. That's the whole business model.

What's next.
