The studio

Make less. Mean more.

By JTT is a small independent studio founded by Jordan Thirkle. The work moves between software, games, experiments and writing—but the direction is consistent: make the next useful thing, explain how it works and leave it better than it arrived.

A working contract

Clarity is a feature.

01

Make the promise smaller

A clear, useful promise beats a crowded feature list.

02

Use AI with a paper trail

Agents accelerate the work; tests, sources and human judgement make it trustworthy.

03

Ship things with a long tail

The best launch is a useful first version that can keep earning its place.

The shape of the studio

Two front doors. One standard.

By JTT Games is the dedicated home for playable work and game development. This studio portal holds the wider practice: apps, tools, web projects, research and the writing that connects them.
