We make games. We jam hard. We have absolutely no martial arts training whatsoever. Black belt in Unity, though.
We're a scrappy game jam team who believe great games are built with focus, creativity, and zero actual combat experience.
The Howling Monkey Martial Arts and Game Development Club was founded on a simple principle: what if a game dev team had the aesthetic of a martial arts dojo, but none of the physical fitness requirements?
We compete in game jams, prototype weird ideas, and occasionally ship things. Our sensei has a copy of The Art of War someone found in a free pile, and we consult it regularly for level design advice.
Whether it's a 48-hour jam or a longer project, we bring the same focused, disciplined energy — then immediately get distracted by a new game idea.
Each one forged in the fires of a jam weekend, fuelled by energy drinks and poor decisions.

Masters of their craft. Students of the game. None of us can do a cartwheel.
Challenge us to a game jam. Collaborate on a project. Or just tell us our games are good. We love that.
