Useful products
Small enough to understand. Useful enough to keep. Built around real problems instead of subscription-shaped excuses.
IN THE SHEDLPLATESDRIVER / BUILD 0001
Software as a solution.
Not a service.
We're building useful apps, odd little games, shared technology and the Truffle Pigs universe — one lean network designed to become more useful every time we add something worth keeping.
Useful first
Low bloat
Shared core
Built to evolve
THE BUILD
A studio that grows into a network.
We don't want a pile of unrelated apps. Products get their own identity, but reusable parts should live once and improve everything around them.
Truffle Pigs
Our cheeky mascot universe for games, stories, rewards, merch and the occasional unexplained sighting across the network.
DIGGINGShared technology
Identity, releases, feedback, analytics, cross-promotion and other common plumbing — added only where it earns its keep.
FOUNDATIONSTHE NETWORK BENEATH IT
One front door. More rooms as we build them.
LPlatesDriver is the parent studio and technology network. Apps, games and Truffle Pigs experiences can plug into a shared core without becoming one giant tangled product.

Platformshared systems
Shared when useful.No forced coupling.
Permission before profiling.Private product data stays private.
House ads first.Cross-promote our own work before selling attention cheaply.
Portable by design.Documented systems that can survive beyond one person.
THE ETHOS
Build things worth owning.
Useful beats noisy. Clear beats clever-for-the-sake-of-it. Shared systems beat rebuilding the same plumbing six times.
We're early. Some things will work, some will get rebuilt, and a pig will probably wander through the wrong screen. The aim is to learn fast without turning the product into a surveillance machine, a subscription maze or a pile of abandoned code.
