Welcome to Funatic Games

 

Where Passion Meets Play

At Funatic Games, we believe fun should always come first. Founded by veteran game developer Paul Goad, Funatic Games is an independent studio with one mission: to create games that are joyful, competitive, and timeless.

A Studio Built on Experience

With more than 27 years in the video game industry, Paul has helped bring to life some of the most recognized franchises in gaming, including FIFA, Need for Speed, James Bond, Age of Empires, Captain America, Metroid, Spider-Man, and Luigi’s Mansion. That wealth of experience, spanning art, production, leadership, and external development, is now fueling Funatic Games.

Funatic Games is not just a new studio, it’s the culmination of decades spent learning what makes games great, how to build teams that thrive, and why creativity never goes out of style. We’re proving that innovation isn’t bound by age or trends, but by the passion to keep creating.

More Than One Game

While every studio starts somewhere, Funatic Games was never intended to be a one-project company. Our vision is long-term:

• Agile and Sustainable: A studio that can adapt to industry shifts while staying true to its creative core.

• Gameplay-First: Experiences designed around accessibility, creativity, and replayability.

• Built to Last: A company structure that supports growth, talent, and multiple titles, not just one.

Our focus is on building a trusted brand in indie gaming, known for delivering experiences that players return to again and again.

Why Funatic Games Stands Apart

• Gameplay Over Gimmicks – We design around joy, not monetization tricks.

• Driven by Passion, Not Trends – We follow our instincts, not fads.

• AAA Experience, Indie Spirit – Decades of big studio expertise channeled into fresh, personal projects.

• Proving There’s No Age Limit – Creativity thrives at every stage of a career.
