What Render Cube does
Render Cube S.A. is a publicly listed Polish game development studio headquartered in Łódź, founded in 2012 by Damian Szymański. The company develops and publishes the Medieval Dynasty franchise, a survival RPG that combines survival mechanics, RPG progression, simulation, and city-building systems in a medieval open-world setting. The studio builds on Unreal Engine technology and has shipped the title across PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG.com) and console (Xbox, PlayStation) platforms, reaching 3 million+ cumulative copies sold by early 2026 since its September 2020 Early Access debut. The company employs nearly 50 specialists covering programming, game design, 2D/3D art, animation, writing, music, QA, and marketing.
The company operates a product-led, multi-platform distribution model. Revenue is generated through one-time game license sales across digital storefronts, paid DLC expansions (e.g., Exquisite Set, Backwood, Hunting and Wilderness updates), and a branded merchandise e-commerce line priced in EUR. Render Cube maintains a publishing partnership with Toplitz Productions and is publicly traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange main market, with the IPO prospectus approved by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority in December 2023. In 2025 the company reported net revenue of approximately 16.98M PLN and net profit of 7.71M PLN, and has paid meaningful dividends in both 2024 (~6M PLN) and 2025 (~14.5M PLN), indicating a mature, cash-generative operation.
Ownership is concentrated: Iridium Media Group GmbH holds 55.71%, while founding shareholders Damian Szymański (20.43%) and Krzysztof Szymański (3.81%) control the company through a dual-class share structure providing enhanced voting rights to the founders. The company executed a related-party adjacent move in April 2022, acquiring Spectral Games S.A. for VR game development (which produced the Medieval Dynasty New Settlement title for Meta Quest) and subsequently divested the stake. In 2025 Render Cube announced a new, separate project in development, signaling an intent to diversify beyond the single Medieval Dynasty IP.

Render Cube competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Devolver Digital: Indie game publisher behind multiple survival/strategy titles. A broader incumbent in the indie gaming ecosystem where Render Cube operates, useful as a comparable for the publisher/developer business model Render Cube uses with Toplitz Productions.
Direct peers
- Coffee Stain Studios: Developer of Deep Rock Galactic and Satisfactory. Indie studio focused on cooperative survival-crafting experiences, closely matching Render Cube's Co-op multiplayer and survival-mechanic positioning.
- Re-Logic: Developer of Terraria, a 2D survival-crafting-RPG with 44M+ copies sold and continuous content updates over more than a decade. The closest analog to Render Cube's 'long-seller' strategy with one anchor IP.
- Endnight Games: Developer of The Forest and Sons of the Forest, a leading survival-crafting franchise. Competes with Render Cube for survival genre player attention on PC and console.
- ConcernedApe: Solo developer behind Stardew Valley, the canonical indie survival-crafting-RPG-life-sim hybrid. Shares Render Cube's premium indie positioning, deep simulation systems, and long-tail evergreen revenue model.
- Facepunch Studios: Developer of Rust and Garry's Mod. Directly comparable as an indie studio operating a major survival-crafting multiplayer title with a large, persistent player base.
- Iron Gate AB: Swedish developer of Valheim, one of the largest indie survival-crafting hits of recent years. Directly comparable to Render Cube as an independently developed survival/crafting game with strong community engagement and ongoing content updates.
- Klei Entertainment: Developer of Don't Starve and related survival-crafting titles. Indie studio with a comparable evergreen content cadence and a similar target demographic of survival game enthusiasts.
- Redbeet Interactive: Developer of Raft, an indie survival-crafting title with strong community reception. Competes for the same indie survival player base that Render Cube targets with Medieval Dynasty.
- The Fun Pimps: Developer of 7 Days to Die, a long-running survival-crafting zombie title distributed across PC and consoles. Directly comparable long-seller in the survival-builder genre.
