Rainpane

Games with weather in them, and tools that keep your data at home. Designed, built, and shipped from the rainy North East of England.

Games

Small worlds, properly made

Narrative and arcade projects built by one pair of hands, tested by hundreds of automated runs before a human ever plays them.

Echoes of the Sanctuary: Windbound

A wind-swept journey across storm-lashed regions with six playable runners, each with their own kit, training hall, and story moments. Read the weather, run the storms, earn the escape.

Local-first, by design

Utilities for people who would rather their documents, recordings, and files never leave the room. Where these tools use AI, the models run on your hardware, not somebody's cloud.

How the studio works

01 · Privacy

Data stays home

AI features run on local models and self-hosted hardware. No accounts where none are needed, no telemetry, no quiet uploads.

02 · Craft

Tested like infrastructure

Games and tools ship behind hundreds of automated checks. If a build cannot prove itself headless, it does not reach a person.

03 · Independence

One studio, whole stack

Design, engineering, and release handled in-house, from engine code to store listing. Small enough to care about every screen.
