At Manticore Games, we understand that our customers, both aspiring game creators and avid players, encounter significant hurdles in the traditional gaming landscape. Creators often face steep learning curves with complex game engines, prohibitive costs for tools and publishing, and the daunting task of reaching a wide audience. Many harbor innovative game ideas but are stymied by a lack of deep coding expertise or the financial resources to materialize their visions. Players, in turn, are on a perpetual quest for novel, diverse, and immersive gaming experiences that extend beyond conventional titles, yearning for platforms that deliver a rich variety of easily accessible, high-quality user-generated content.

Core, our platform, was meticulously designed and developed by us at Manticore Games to dismantle these barriers.
