ROTxBLAU unites different needs: A passion for computer games and the wish to leave something permanent in the world meet the desire for self-realisation and independent entrepreneurship.

ROTxBLAU is an independent game studio and part of the Betonkiste, a self-managed cultural and commercial center in the west of Leipzig. In workshops and workrooms covering more than 1500sqm, woodworkers, metalworkers, designers - and us - are working together side by side, but also in solidarity with each other.

The Betonkiste is also home to IG Freie Szene Leipzig e.V., an association in which the idea of ROTxBLAU was born and flourished for several years.

Over the last few years, we have been asking ourselves how we can combine different interests and skills to work together on challenging projects. A first order in 2017/18 showed that this is not impossible.

In the following years we worked on game ideas and business models. In 2020 we successfully applied for the EXIST start-up grant with the TROPHIX ecosystem simulation software. Since then, we have been poking our noses into projects that could hardly be more different, with a healthy mixture of naivety, curiosity and professional scepticism.

With Coyote we are now building a game that is based on TROPHIX and offers us the chance to test our software in live operation and to further develop it according to our requirements.
