We build new ways in.
Mutant Factory publishes open-source game transformations and creative tools for people who want to play, make, inspect, and change the work.
What we make
Second interfaces for games, instruments, and creative work.
Mutant Factory starts with something that already matters—a game you own, a sound patch, a creative workflow—and builds another way to enter it. Sometimes that means turning a familiar world into explorable 3D. Sometimes it means moving one instrument between a browser, desktop software, and hardware.
Each project is meant to be useful as it is and open enough to become something else. The source stays visible, the boundaries stay clear, and your work stays yours.
Current work
Three projects. Three ways in.
Each project begins somewhere different, but all three make the important parts more portable, inspectable, and open to change.
SoundGraph
Build one sound graph, then run it on Windows, in a browser, inside Godot, or on embedded hardware. The first public release arrives at Knobcon.
Explore SoundGraphGet in Loser
Make pixels, small voxel objects, and sound in one private browser workspace. Nothing is uploaded, and the tool is ready to use today.
Open Get in LoserWhy the Factory works this way
Useful now. Open for what comes next.
Open source is not a footnote after the product. It is part of how the product earns trust and remains useful.
A clear way in
Direct access, understandable requirements, readable documentation, and no deliberately confusing buttons.
The machinery stays visible
Source, structure, inspectors, and plain-language explanations let people understand what the work is doing.
The boundaries stay honest
Bring the original game when required. Your work stays local when promised. Every project says what it is and is not.
There is room to mutate
Use the published version, repair it, fork it, or make something the original author did not anticipate.
Why “Mutant”
Difference is the starting condition.
People arrive with different bodies, histories, attention, language, and ways of understanding. There is no canonical human reference implementation, so one interface should never pretend to be the only possible way in.
How it stays public
Support funds the work, not access.
Contributions fund development time, testing, hosting, documentation, installers, accessibility work, and new public releases. They do not unlock exclusive versions.
