We are launching Endless Studios, our impact game platform!

It’s such a pleasure to be able to write this. I’ve been working towards this moment for years. Today I get to announce that Endless is launching a game studio, Endless Studios!

At Endless, our original mission was to provide education to communities that did not have access to either teachers or resources. One of the first questions we asked ourselves as we began to tackle this problem was, “How do you get children in these areas excited about learning?” We realized that the answer was obvious: kids love games.

At their core, games are giant learning engines. Games are a series of challenges that we scaffold our way up, to beat the big boss, to level up our characters and capabilities, to win, without realizing that we’re actually just learning to get better at the core game mechanic.

Our insight was that we could make the game mechanic something that is not only fun but that also enriches our kids’ lives. Minecraft serves as an inspiration. Modding the game has spawned more children to learn to code than perhaps any pathway, because kids love it.

This initial insight was furthered with a question I have asked in every engineering interview. “How did you learn to code?” The answer became my fascination. So many of them answered, “I loved playing video games and I discovered that I could hack the games. I had more fun hacking them than playing them.” With that, our idea was born.

What if Endless could build games in which everything were able to be hacked? We could deliberately craft the pathway that those engineers were addicted to. This simple insight was the genesis for years of work by dozens of creative game developers and has led us to today’s announcement.

Today we are giving you our initial glimpse of what’s to come: a bundle of half a dozen games from Endless Studios that range from the simplest crossy-road game that allows you to script a frog to beat the game, all the way to a fantasy world in which you craft and cast magical spells. We’re going to be launching a lot more this year. Consider this a sneak peek into what’s coming. The name of the bundle, The Third Terminal, hints at the future.

Today the games only run on the Endless OS and Linux. Visit and come play!

In many ways, building these games has sparked in me the same feeling that we hope for in the kids who play our games. Building games can be more fun than playing them. Building games gives the freedom of being able to dream anything and build that dream.

I see games in everything around me. I recently woke up early and noticed that my room was colorless. A concept for a game sparked: everything starts colorless, like my room, and can be driven back to life with unfurling puzzles of color. That game will be coming soon.

I want every kid to be able to have that same joy.

But most importantly, I believe what we are doing at Endless Studios actually matters, a lot. I believe the coming generation must learn to code. Without it, they will not be ready for their own future. We must teach them to teach themselves. We are here to help with that.

“Endless Studios”...It’s so nice to write those words. Come join the game.
