MIMESIS STUDIOS LTD

What MIMESIS STUDIOS LTD does

Mimesis Studios Ltd is a UK private limited company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Brighton, operating a remote-first digital creation studio that delivers four service pillars: Software Design (consulting, concept art, UI/UX, design documents), App Development (native iOS/Android, Progressive Web Apps, desktop applications, plus App Store and Google Play publishing support), Game Development (full-cycle 2D/3D asset creation, technical art, animation, gameplay programming, and publishing), and Platforms & Websites (custom web applications, CMS solutions, creative experiences, hosting, and SEO). Its underlying stack is built on the Unity engine with C# for interactive work, complemented by modern web frameworks, Microsoft 365 for data, and a multi-cloud deployment layer across AWS, Google Cloud, and Vercel. The firm has published its own products including the Gem Genie and Dreams mobile games, the Frontier/Western PC title, and the AirMeter AR pollution visualization app, demonstrating end-to-end production capability from concept through store release.

The business is predominantly a professional services operation with a project-based revenue model structured around three contract types: Fixed Contracts for defined scopes, Flexi Contracts billed hourly on a month-to-month basis with a client-capped maximum spend, and Custom Contracts for complex ongoing engagements. A secondary subscription revenue stream is being built through the Mimesis Innovation Program, which provides 12 months of free services to selected startups before transitioning to paid monthly or annual subscriptions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans independent game developers, mid-market professional studios (logos include Survault, Proxilon, Holy Fire Games, Playground Network, ANRK, and Blakout), and small businesses/startups entering via the Innovation Program across retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and tech segments. Distribution is direct via project inquiries, contact forms, and a dedicated Business Developer targeting global B2B clients, supported by organic presence on LinkedIn and Instagram.
