CDIS Lab. – Independent Game Development Laboratory
CDIS Lab. is an independent game development laboratory focused on creating
original video game experiences for Windows PC, Steam, mobile devices,
web browsers and classic computer platforms. Our projects combine modern
game development technologies with a long-standing passion for interactive
entertainment, retro computing and independent game creation.
From early experiments on classic home computers to contemporary games
developed with modern engines, CDIS Lab. explores different genres,
technologies and platforms. Our portfolio includes action games,
adventure games, first-person and third-person experiences, arcade-style
titles, puzzle games, mobile games, browser games and retro projects.
Instead of limiting ourselves to a single platform or genre, we approach
game development as a laboratory where new ideas, technologies and
gameplay concepts can be tested and transformed into playable projects.
What platforms does CDIS Lab. develop games for?
CDIS Lab. develops and publishes games across several generations of hardware and software platforms:
- Windows PC and Steam
- Apple iOS and Android
- Modern web browsers
- Commodore 64 and other retro computer projects
- Modern projects developed with engines such as Unreal Engine
How does CDIS Lab. develop games for PC, mobile and the web?
Independent game development gives us the freedom to experiment with
different ideas and styles. CDIS Lab. develops and publishes games across
several platforms, including Windows PC, Steam, Apple iOS, Android and
modern web browsers. This multi-platform approach allows our projects to
reach players using desktop computers, smartphones, tablets and other
compatible devices.
Our development history includes projects created with technologies and
game engines such as JavaScript, AppGameKit Studio, GameGuru, FPS Creator
and Unreal Engine. Each generation of technology has provided new
possibilities for storytelling, gameplay, graphics and interaction.
Today, modern development tools allow us to create more detailed worlds
while we continue to maintain our connection with the simplicity and
creativity of classic video games.
Does CDIS Lab. develop Windows PC and Steam games?
Windows PC gaming has always been an important part of CDIS Lab.
Several of our larger projects were designed specifically for Windows
computers and distributed through platforms such as Steam. These games
include different approaches to action, adventure, exploration and
story-driven gameplay.
Projects such as Ottoman Empire: Spectacular Millennium, Deathly Storm:
The Edge of Life, Murder Diaries: Ankara, Invasion and Hopper Rabbit
represent different periods of our PC development history. Newer projects
continue this tradition while taking advantage of modern game development
engines and improved production tools.
Our recent generation of games expands the CDIS Lab. catalogue with
projects including OESM - Sacred Story, Punisher of Sins, Town of
Hopkinton, Lost Soul of the Missing Island, Invasion 2, Darkman:
Bounty Hunter, The Lost Samurai, King of Wukong and Emergency Roadside
Assistance.
Does CDIS Lab. develop iOS and Android games?
Mobile development is another important part of the CDIS Lab. catalogue.
Our games have been developed for both Apple iOS and Android devices,
providing smaller and more accessible gaming experiences alongside our
larger Windows PC projects.
Mobile platforms allow us to explore gameplay concepts that work well
with touchscreens, shorter play sessions and portable devices. Puzzle,
arcade, action and casual game concepts can be adapted to mobile
environments while maintaining the visual identity and experimental
approach of CDIS Lab.
Selected games can be found through our official mobile publishing
channels, including the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Does CDIS Lab. develop browser games?
Browser games have played an important role in the history of CDIS Lab.
Over the years we have created numerous web-based games using technologies
such as JavaScript and earlier browser-oriented development systems.
Modern browser technology makes it possible for players to access games
directly through a compatible web browser without installing traditional
desktop software.
These projects are also an important part of our development philosophy:
a game does not always need to be a massive production to offer an
entertaining experience. Small experimental games can introduce new
mechanics, test ideas and provide fast and accessible entertainment.
Does CDIS Lab. develop games for classic computers?
Retro computing is more than a visual style for CDIS Lab.; it is part of
our development history. Our earliest game development experiments date
back to the era of classic home computers, and this connection continues
today through new projects created for vintage hardware.
Does CDIS Lab. develop Commodore 64 games?
The Commodore 64 remains one of the most influential home computers in
video game history. CDIS Lab. continues to explore this legendary
platform by developing new Commodore 64 projects and experimenting with
BASIC programming, classic game mechanics and the technical limitations
that defined early computer gaming.
Our C64 catalogue includes original experiments as well as retro
interpretations connected to existing CDIS Lab. projects. Recent titles
demonstrate that classic hardware can still inspire new games decades
after its original release.
Creating New Experiences for Classic Hardware
Developing for retro computers requires a different mindset from modern
Windows or mobile game development. Limited memory, resolution, processing
power and input methods encourage developers to concentrate on fundamental
gameplay ideas. These restrictions can become creative opportunities,
producing games that are simple to understand while remaining challenging
and enjoyable.
From BASIC Programming to Modern Game Engines
The technologies used by CDIS Lab. have changed dramatically over the
years. Early BASIC programming and classic computer development eventually
gave way to browser technologies, dedicated game development tools and
modern engines. Despite these technological changes, the objective remains
the same: experiment, learn and create interactive entertainment.
A Connection Between Retro and Modern Game Development
By working with both classic and contemporary platforms, CDIS Lab. keeps
a connection between different generations of video game development.
Retro projects help preserve the spirit of early computing, while modern
Windows, Steam and Unreal Engine projects allow us to explore larger
environments, richer visuals and more complex gameplay systems.
Original Games, Stories and Experimental Projects
CDIS Lab. projects cover a wide range of themes and genres. Some games
focus on action and combat, while others concentrate on exploration,
puzzles, history, science fiction, fantasy or supernatural stories.
This diversity reflects our laboratory approach to development.
Ottoman Empire: Spectacular Millennium combines historical inspiration
with fantasy, vampires, werewolves and time travel. Murder Diaries:
Ankara explores a darker supernatural environment, while Invasion uses
a science-fiction setting. Other CDIS Lab. projects explore entirely
different worlds and gameplay concepts. This variety allows every new
production to become an opportunity to experiment with another style of
interactive entertainment.
Does CDIS Lab. use Unreal Engine?
Modern CDIS Lab. development increasingly includes projects created with
Unreal Engine. The engine provides tools for producing larger 3D
environments, first-person and third-person gameplay, lighting,
animation, visual effects and more advanced interactive systems.
OESM - Sacred Story is one example of this newer generation. The project
combines first-person and third-person perspectives with action-adventure
and hack-and-slash gameplay. New Unreal Engine projects continue to
expand the studio's catalogue and represent another stage in the
evolution of CDIS Lab. game development.
More Than Three Decades of Game Development Experiments
The roots of CDIS Lab. game development stretch back to the classic
computer era. Over the decades, development has moved through Commodore
systems, browser games, Windows PC projects, Steam releases, mobile
applications and modern Unreal Engine productions.
Each technological generation has introduced different opportunities.
Classic computers taught developers to work creatively within technical
limitations. Browser technology made games immediately accessible.
Mobile platforms introduced touchscreen interaction and portable gaming.
Digital distribution services such as Steam allowed independent Windows
games to reach a worldwide PC audience. Modern engines now provide tools
that were unimaginable during the early years of home computing.
Rather than leaving those earlier technologies behind, CDIS Lab. treats
them as part of the same continuing journey. Our catalogue therefore
brings together retro gaming, independent PC development, mobile games,
browser entertainment and contemporary 3D production.
