About the studio

What's in a name?

Nether(lands)

Where the studio is. Every game here is made in the Netherlands.

Boom

My last name, and Dutch for "tree".

NetherTreeGames

A one-person studio making low-poly games.

Hi, I'm Timo.

I'm a solo developer from the Netherlands. Nether Tree Games is where I make the games I want to play but that don't exist yet. I design and develop each game, from first idea to Steam launch.

Prophecy Island came first. It's inspired by current and childhood favourites alike, from the punishing depths of Dark Souls and the open wastelands of Fallout to the colourful adventures of Freddi Fish. Trick or Eat came next: a Halloween co-op brawler for you and three friends. And just in time for Christmas, Mall Santa Mayhem: four elves racing through a packed shopping mall to get every wish to Santa.

Why low poly?

Low poly is clean, colourful and easy to read at a glance, so the focus stays on how a game plays. And a faceted world looks just as good years from now as it does today.
