Established in 2021, Good Measure Games is an independent game studio that develops interactive entertainment with a hyper-focus on the player experience. The name reflects the company’s philosophy for creating: do what is right for your players – for good measure. By combining human elements, themes and actions in an immersive, ‘feel real’ environment, players can engage and play in countless ways. By highlighting cryptic imagery found in gameplay, the brand we built evokes the sense of stumbling upon something secretive and extraordinary.

Mana Chess is a colorful, turn-based strategy game that takes players on an adventure through three unique areas over 10 stages – one that is simple to learn but tough to master. Hard work pays off, as ST8MNT was tasked to design a logo for the game in beta stage and help lay a foundation for Mana Chess’ evolution. Plus, we played hard too, archetyping 2D designs for promo into 3D designs to complement the in-game experience and delivering assets to go-live on the Steam PC-gaming platform. Wanna try your hand at Mana Chess? Press play here.
