K Ventures and Publishing

We make games about ordinary life in Singapore, and the tools around them.

K Ventures and Publishing is an independent studio. Seven projects are live across iOS, Android and the browser. Most of them you can play in a tab right now, without an account.

Singapore Life Simulator

Live a fictional Singaporean life from childhood to old age, one swipeable choice at a time. Balance wealth, happiness, family and reputation. Every run ends in a eulogy written from the choices you actually made.

Everything else we've shipped

All six run in the browser. The screenshots are from the live builds.

Bay Drive from the driver's seat on a four-lane road: the instrument cluster through the steering wheel, the START button and gear gate on the console, the lesson step at the top, directions and a minimap at the top right, and speed beside the speed-limit sign.

Bay Drive

A 3D driving simulator for the California behind-the-wheel test: nine lessons, ten drills, a mock exam on a new route every time, and a cockpit you operate by clicking. The permit theory test sits in a second tab.

A Bedfellows round in progress: the garden bed, the seed cards in hand, and the harvest so far against the round's target.

Bedfellows

Plant a small garden bed where every crop scores from its neighbours: corn between beans and squash, never a tomato by a potato. Short seasons, one garden year a run.

A Compete match in progress: a street grid of plots, a shelf of shops along the bottom, and a countdown timer.

Compete: Shop Wars

Build shops along the street, pull in customers, and drop meteors on your rival. Against the bot, or a friend in a room.

About the studio

K Ventures and Publishing is an independent game studio based in Singapore. It started with FocusFarm, the farming game that has since become Bedfellows. Singapore Life Simulator is what most people find us through, and it was featured on CNA Up Close.

The studio is small and the approach is simple: build something small enough to finish, put it in front of real players, and fix what the play actually shows. Everything here is self-funded and self-published.
