Pocket Studio

The Pocket Studio room: handhelds on a shelf, a workbench with a laptop, game cases on a rack and a television.

Make a game with your coding agent, in a room of your own. It runs on the handheld you kept and the phone you never threw away.

The room is a web page. Claude Code or Codex writes the game on your computer, and each build reaches a PSP, a PS Vita, a Nintendo 3DS, an iPod touch or an Android phone on the shelf a few seconds after it is saved. Publish a game and it gets a case on the shelf and its own address: friends play it in a browser, or take it home to their own device.

Technology

  • PocketJS: create UI on every screen you love. Apps written as JavaScript components, drawn as native pixels on handhelds, desktops and embedded screens. Source
  • Pocket3D: create 3D for every machine you love. A scene written once in Three.js, a compiler that lowers it for each console, and a renderer for each console's GPU. Source
  • MicroTS: TypeScript compiled ahead of time to native code.

Games on Pocket Studio

Each one runs in a browser tab and on the handhelds it was built for. Their pages on Pocket Studio have recordings and the packages for each device.

Mods

The engines behind Pocket Studio also run mods. These two read files from a game you own, so Pocket Studio shows them as demos. The code is open: take it and make it yours.

Pocket Voxel: a town of the game rebuilt as a voxel diorama. Pocket Voxel
A Game Boy creature-RPG as a voxel diorama, built from your own ROM. PSP, PS Vita, iPod touch and a browser.
