THE STUDIO

WE BUILD
THINGS WORTH
EXPERIENCING.

Orange Flame is an independent creative technology studio. We make games, products, experiments and cultural work that are meant to be experienced rather than simply consumed.

That means the work starts with the experience we want someone to have — not the category a project is supposed to fit into.

03 / WHAT WE MAKE

I don't want every project to look the same. I want the technology to become part of the experience.

CASE STUDIES.

FieldGoal is the first case study — and the clearest proof of what happens when systems, sport and storytelling are treated as one experience.

CASE STUDY 01
IN DEVELOPMENT
FIELDGOAL / UNITED BASKETBALL UNIVERSE

A basketball simulation where systems remember what happens.

FieldGoal puts you in the shoes of a head coach and drops you into the United Basketball Universe — a three-tier professional basketball pyramid built around decisions, simulation, progression and emergent narrative. Inside that world, Off The Court turns what happens in your save into a living basketball conversation.

WHY IT IS DIFFERENTMost sports simulations track the result.
FieldGoal tracks the consequences.

Drafts, relationships, rivalries, contracts, careers and media all react to what happens in your save.

Follow the simulation, archive, media layer and history rather than taking the pitch on faith.

Each project gets its own identity, but the underlying curiosity carries from one project to the next.

07 / ABOUT ORANGE FLAME

THE STUDIO
IS THE
COMMON THREAD.

Orange Flame exists to explore the space between technology and culture. We make things with a bias towards experience: games you can inhabit, products you can use, experiments you can interact with and stories you can remember.

FieldGoal is our first case study. It happens to be about basketball because basketball is a language we know deeply. The studio itself is intentionally broader.

As the body of work grows, each project can have its own identity while still belonging to the same Orange Flame universe.
