Finite Reflection Studios

What Finite Reflection Studios does

Finite Reflection Studios LLC is an independent game development studio founded in May 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, by four co-founders — Kartik Kini (Creative Director), Eric Cook (Lead Programmer and Platform Manager), Zachary Woomer (Composer/Sound Designer), and Garrett Stache — who met during the 2016 Global Game Jam. The studio operates on a 1-10 person headcount base and operates on a dual business model. First, it develops and self-publishes original games built in the Unity engine, including the soulslike collectathon Mouseward, the top-down minimalist soulslike VOID SOLS, the queer narrative platformer The Gardener and the Wild Vines, the cooperative twin-stick shooter TwinCop, and the turn-based minimalist strategy game Containment. Second, it offers professional game porting services, taking third-party indie titles (such as Steven Universe: Save the Light for Grumpyface Studios and Panic Porcupine for Spicy Gyro Games) between PC and console platforms, with Eric Cook owning all porting infrastructure and client relationships.

The studio distributes through major digital storefronts — Steam, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 eShops, Xbox One and Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and 5, Itch.io, and Epic Games — and uses PlayFab for backend services (player authentication, leaderboards) and Unity Cloud Services for diagnostics. Marketing is concentrated on direct channels: an active Discord community, storefront listings, and a presskit page, supplemented by earned visibility through indie festival awards (IndieCade 2021 nominee, GLAAD Media Awards nominee, NYX 2024 Gold, SFGE 2023 Best In Show).

Revenue is generated through one-time purchases of original titles on digital storefronts and through service contracts for porting engagements. Pricing is set by storefront operators and is not publicly disclosed; porting service pricing is non-public. The studio is a privately held LLC governed under Georgia law, with no parent company, subsidiaries, acquisitions, or external funding rounds disclosed. It is actively operating, with recent title releases in 2023–2025 and explicit support for Nintendo Switch 2 distribution.
