Humble Beginnings
Earthen Games LLC began with a simple goal: create tabletop games that people genuinely look forward to playing.
After years working in branding, communications, and creative strategy, I decided to channel those skills into a lifelong passion: designing games. What started as sketches, prototypes, and countless playtesting sessions eventually became Crash Site, the first title from Earthen Games.
We're an independent studio based in New Jersey, built one step at a time. Every playtest, every piece of feedback, and every person who follows our journey helps shape what comes next. Whether you've been here since the beginning or just discovered us today, thank you for being part of it.
A Note About the Artwork
Most of the artwork currently featured on this website is AI-generated placeholder imagery created to communicate the tone, atmosphere, and visual direction of Crash Site during development.
Our long-term plan has always been to replace every single placeholder image with original commissioned artwork before the game's commercial launch. As development progresses and the game's design reaches its final form, we'll collaborate with talented artists to bring the world of Crash Site to life through a distinctive visual identity.
If you're a character or environment artist interested in the project, we'd love to hear from you.
Our Philosophy
We believe great games earn their place on your shelf. The tabletop industry has never offered more choice, and that's something to celebrate. But with so many incredible games competing for attention, we think the best ones have something in common: they're the games people keep coming back to.
That's why we focus on what we call the fun-damentals: clear rules, meaningful decisions, minimal downtime, satisfying progression, and gameplay that's just as exciting on your twentieth session as it was on your first.
Our motto is Future Fun Now. To us, that means designing experiences that aren't driven by gimmicks or short-lived trends, but by timeless gameplay that remains rewarding years after release.
Whether you're introducing someone to modern tabletop gaming or gathering a veteran group around the table, our goal is the same: create games that are easy to learn, rewarding to master, and impossible to stop thinking about.
