Independent product studio · Leicester and Thiruvananthapuram
We help businesses sell more clearly and run more smoothly, with apps and internal tools, Unity games, brands and websites, and independent advice when a build is not the answer. We also release apps and games of our own, so you can try our work before you get in touch.
Typical response: within two working days.

02 / Our products
Building our own work keeps us close to the trade-offs our clients face: scope, usability, performance, support and the moment real users arrive. Every label below states exactly where a product is today.
A Deep Play Original · Unity 6
More drama in every roll.
Pick your character and race around a colourful 3D board. Play against bots, pass one device between friends, or join an online room for two to four players.
Android · Billing for small businesses
The internet can drop. Your counter does not.
Create bills in moments, print to a compatible 58 mm or 80 mm Bluetooth thermal printer or share a PDF receipt, and see how the day is going, even offline.
iPhone and iPad · Business ledger
Your business, a little clearer.
The expenses you pay, the sales you make and the money still due, in a calm local ledger. Records stay on your device, no account is required and receipt recognition runs on the device.

Seven hero landmarks: Fishing harbour · St Joseph's shrine · Vizhinjam Junction · Theatre Junction · Azhakulam Junction · Ambedkar statue · Muhyiddheen Masjid
Riders pull the clutch, flick the gear lever with a toe, cover the brake and put a foot down at the lights.
Each machine has its own engine, synthesised from firing pulses, exhaust resonance and intake.
Two motorcycles, two scooters. Each is a fictional machine tuned to the published power, torque, gearing, weight and brakes of a real model in its class.
The same team takes on client games and real-time 3D.
Game Development05 / Ways to work together
How every project runs
Define the user, the operating reality and the outcome worth changing.
Turn ambiguity into a focused product direction, scope and technical plan.
Design and engineer in reviewable increments, with the important work visible.
Launch carefully, learn from real use and decide what deserves investment next.
Explore
Clarify the problem, test the difficult assumptions and leave with a prototype or build-ready plan.
Usually 1–3 weeks
Create
Design, develop and launch one complete product, system, game slice or media package.
Usually 6–16 weeks
Extend
Add a multidisciplinary team to an active roadmap without assembling another department.
Ongoing
Independent by design
Need advice before anything is built? Consulting runs independently of production, as a decision review, a strategy sprint or an advisory partnership. If the best answer is to simplify, pause or avoid building something, we will say so.
Consulting06 / Questions
We reply within two working days with useful questions and an honest recommendation for the first step. Your information is used only to respond to your enquiry, never for a mailing list.
From studios in Leicester and Thiruvananthapuram. We work with businesses in Leicester and the East Midlands, in Kerala, remotely across the UK and India, and internationally.
Yes. For software, we diagnose what is actually wrong and ship the next useful version. For games, we help studios stuck between a prototype and a release they can show.
Yes. Consulting stays independent of production. If the best answer is to simplify, pause or avoid building something, we will say so.
It can start small. A product sprint usually takes one to three weeks and ends with a prototype or a build-ready plan. A focused build usually runs six to sixteen weeks.
No. Games are one of four practices, alongside software, consulting and brand. Our own apps and games keep us close to the trade-offs our clients face.
07 / The studio
Deep Play Studio LTD was founded in 2020 on a simple idea: technology, business and creativity shouldn't operate in separate rooms. We work from Leicester and Thiruvananthapuram, and our work often carries a sense of place: Port Riders rebuilds Vizhinjam street by street, and BillMint's install guide comes in English, Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil.
