RuneFist Studios partners with publishers, IP holders and other studios to ship cooperative adventures, live-service tech and Minecraft Marketplace releases that actually stand out.
who we partner with
Publishers
Need a Bedrock Marketplace release in 4–6 months? We scope, build and ship to the submission bar — without you ever touching a behaviour pack.
IP holders
Bring us your IP. We'll pitch multiple activations across Bedrock, Java and custom-built Minecraft experiences that respect the source.
Other studios
Gameplay engineering, live-service tech, or a second opinion on your quest system. We collaborate as a specialist team, not a body-shop.
what we build
Four focused capabilities — the ones we’re genuinely world-class at. Anything outside those, we’ll tell you, and we’ll point you at people who do it better.
01 / Marketplace
Full-cycle Bedrock adventures from pitch to submission. Original IP or yours — we handle the design, scripting, QA, Marketplace compliance and post-launch support.
02 / Live service
Quest systems, combat, party architecture, world persistence, scaling. If you're building something ambitious in Minecraft Java, we've already shipped it running 300+ concurrent players.
03 / IP activation
Existing IP wanting to land in Minecraft well. We translate the tone, characters and worldbuilding into experiences that respect the source and feel native to the game.
04 / Consulting
Need a second opinion? We do focused engagements — audits, pitch reviews, concept doctoring — for studios who want an honest, informed read on what they're building.
how it works
You send a brief, we reply in 48h. If there's something to explore we set up a 45-minute call to understand the project, constraints and what success looks like.
Within two weeks: a written proposal with scope, team, milestones, deliverables, risks and a fixed or T&M price. No surprises, no ambiguous boilerplate.
Weekly demos, a shared board, direct access to the people doing the work. You'll always know what's happening, what's next and where we are against scope.
We don't disappear on launch day. Every engagement includes a defined support window, a handover doc, and — if you want — ongoing live-ops.
selected work
Live-service · Java
Our flagship Minecraft Java MMORPG. 300+ concurrent players on peak days, a full quest + party + combat stack shipped and live.
Marketplace · Bedrock
Hand-crafted cooperative adventure that hit the Marketplace front page. 2–4 players, ~4 hours, branching ending.
Marketplace · Bedrock
Narrative-driven mystery map, front-page placement in its launch week. Fully voiced, original soundtrack, custom behaviour packs.
why RuneFist
The person on the call is the person writing the code. Flat, senior team. No layers between your brief and the work.
We don't dabble. Years of Bedrock and Java production, a live MMORPG running today, and a network across the ecosystem.
We'd rather lose a pitch than over-promise. Every proposal is scoped with explicit 'what we'd cut if we're 30% over' lines from day one.
send us a brief
The more concrete, the better. We reply inside 48h with either a real answer or a very honest “not us”.
frequently asked
Scope-dependent. Bedrock Marketplace releases typically run €35–120k depending on length and polish. Java / live-service engagements are usually T&M with a monthly cap. We'll always give a concrete number in the proposal.
You do, unless it's one of ours. Client work is always work-for-hire — the IP lives with you from day one. If we're co-developing on our IP, we agree terms upfront and put them in writing.
Yes, before you share anything sensitive. Send us a first note without details and we'll NDA before the brief comes in.
No. We work directly with decision-makers. If you're representing a client, put us in touch with them and we'll take it from there.
Yes — this is something we love doing. Send us your IP bible (or the public material) and what you're trying to do in Minecraft, and we'll come back with 2–3 pitched activations.
