The bakery

Small batch, slow bake

Crescent Croissant is an independent game studio. We make strategy games for PC in pixel art, built in Godot.

NoxSedes is our first game. It is in active development, and we share progress as each era comes out of the oven.

Pixels with depth

Low-poly 3D worlds rendered through a pixel filter, so the camera can pan across a living valley and the art still reads as hand-made.

Systems you can read

Food, blood, stone and gold each show their projected change before dusk, so every shortage has a cause you can find.

A world on one clock

Hunts, rituals, storms and farm work all follow the same simulation clock, including pause and 1×, 2× and 4× speed.
