Twenty people. Twenty games at entirely different levels of completion, varying degrees of polish, and wildly different final scores.

But as the dust settled on the KOFFEEJAM, we noticed a distinct pattern. What separated the participant who came out most satisfied - and most clear-eyed about the technology - wasn't their technical experience. It wasn't the hours they logged, and it wasn't even their prior knowledge of AI…

Twenty games submitted in a fortnight, built by a studio that usually stays in its specialized lanes. We hoped for ten prototypes that didn't catch fire; we got twice that. Here are the numbers, the scoreboard, and what happens when you give an entire team an AI assistant that is incredibly fast, but occasionally hands over code that does absolutely nothing.

In our last post, we mentioned that we set loose a group of Designers, Producers, and Ops managers on Roblox with nothing but an idea and a Claude login.

While the resulting games were impressive, and in some cases, surprisingly functional; the real experiment wasn't happening in the code. It was happening in the room…

At Koffeecup, we’ve always been quite fond of a bit of experimentation.
Recently, we decided to point that curiosity toward the intersection of AI and User Generated Content (UGC). 

We called it the Koffeejam…

We finally did it. We invited you all over to our new place, pushed the piles of dev kits to the edge of the desks, and hosted KoffeeNight 2026 right here at Koffeecup HQ.

It was "cosy" - the polite British term for "please mind the monitors" - but it felt right.

We’ve already shipped Hoomanz on PC, Mac, Xbox, and Nintendo. Naturally, the next logical step was to see if we could get it onto iOS. Our Technical Director decided to run a little experiment using Unreal and Claude AI to see if we could move things along without it becoming a "stop everything and panic" sort of project…

This year, Koffeefest took place in Spain! It’s always special to finally meet in person again, especially for newcomers who get to connect with the team after months of working together remotely.

We’re incredibly proud to see how the Koffeecupers grow and evolve year after year. Moments like these are a great reminder of the energy, creativity, and team spirit that make Koffeecup what it is, and of how good it feels to step away from the screens to share conversations, laughs, and a few cold drinks together

No Christmas K this year, no pooping deers, drunk Santa - none of this.

Just before Christmas we lost Jimmy, Jimmy Wadkins.

A unique human - talented - unruly - hilarious - unexpected.

Every year we throw a party. But this year? We gave it a name.

KoffeeNight was born. And like any newborn, it was loud, chaotic, and full of joy (minus the nappies, thankfully).

The result: a glorious mix of live jazz, dancefloor chaos, and suspiciously competitive karaoke.

We’ve quite grown since last year—there were a whopping 51 people at the retreat (out of 68 Koffeecuppers at the time of the retreat). So, it was a first for a lot of people, and we enjoyed every minute of it! We’re really proud of the work everyone does here at Koffeecup, especially with the challenges remote work brings. It was really great seeing the team talking, laughing and sharing a few cold ones together.

Whooo, what a party!
We certainly know how to party… and even better, we most definitely know how to throw a party! Our goal with this party was to give all our partners that came to London during the week, a place and time to chill out, completely unwind and just casually network. After the extensive days of working closely together during the week, to help improve the platform we love, it was needed – like taking off those uncomfortable shoes after a long day.

We’ve recently finished a long project for a client. Over a dozen mini-games, with accessibility in mind, including the vision-impaired.

In this blog we walk you through the challenges it threw at us and how we solved them. Dive in!

Pssst! Apparently, there’s cake…

Hello all,

It’s been a tough couple of years, and I hope you are all doing OK out there.

For Koffeecup, we’ve been here, working remotely and doing our thing. You know the drill - video calls, Slack messages, pretending that gifs are a real form of communication (they are)... well despite it all, we really have been fortunate to continue collaborating as a team and create some wonderful things. But we never thought the year would start off with a trip to the Dominican Republic, and it’s all thanks to Maloka.
