Intelligence infrastructure for the game industry
Small + Indie Studios
You’ve tried spreadsheets, gut instinct, and asking your Discord. You get signal, but it doesn’t connect back to what you’re building fast enough to steer. Iridae closes that gap by connecting what your team ships to what actually moves in the market, so runway gets spent on work that matters.
The spreadsheet told you what happened. Not what to do next.
You built the tracker. You check the numbers. You asked your Discord and got thirty opinions. But none of it connected: the retention dip happened two sprints after the feature that caused it, and by the time you spotted it, the roadmap had already shifted. The real learning happened too late to steer.
That’s not a process problem. It’s a signal problem: production and market aren’t connected fast enough to course-correct without burning runway.
Where small teams lose the thread
The team is aligned in the room. Then work fans out and the thread frays:
- You ship updates but never connect what happened to what you decide next: community signal piles up, playtest feedback arrives late, and the learning never closes the loop
- The store page hasn’t been touched since the last major build
- You burn a sprint on something urgent but can’t say whether it mattered
The loop between what you build and what the market tells you isn’t closed. At indie scale, that gap eats runway.
Iridae keeps production and market connected
Iridae reads your store data, community signals, playtest results, and player behavior, then connects that signal back to production decisions in real time.
- Your team ships, Iridae tracks what moved. Retention, sentiment, conversion. You learn what worked before the next sprint starts.
- Market signal feeds back into production. Community themes, store analytics, playtest patterns, synthesized into what matters now.
- Decisions get connected to outcomes. What you decided, who owned it, what changed. The next call is informed by the last one.
- Your team stays in control. Iridae surfaces and recommends. You decide what ships and when.
Small teams are fast. Iridae makes sure that speed is pointed at the right target.
