Game Development
Original games and interactive worlds — from a napkin prototype to a shipped build.
- Concept & rapid prototyping
- 2D & 3D, web & mobile
- Playtesting to launch
Digital Infrastructure
We're a tech media studio. We build and run the digital infrastructure local businesses depend on — websites, apps, and AI — and we ship games and media of our own.
What we do
Three channels.
One source.
The mark is three piers carrying one flow. So is the studio. Everything we make moves the same thing — your customers, your information, your revenue — to the people who matter.
Digital Infrastructure
We meet all the digital needs of a local business — and we keep them running long after launch.
- Websites & web apps
- Mobile apps — iOS & Android
- AI tools & automation
- Hosting, security & ops
Media & Content
The launch layer — everything that makes a product look as good as it works.
- Launch & product videos
- App-store assets & ad creative
- Brand systems & visuals
How we work
From your problem
to the people who matter.
An aqueduct only earns its keep when water arrives. So we work backward from the people you need to reach — and we name the trade-offs out loud, in plain language.
Tech-visit
A free walk-in. We map what you actually need — no jargon, no upsell, no slide deck.
Build
Fixed scope, fixed price. You see the work every Friday at 4 pm. No surprises on launch day.
Launch
Bilingual EN/FR, Canadian-hosted, and yours. We cut the DNS over together.
Care
We still answer the phone in month 18. The infrastructure outlasts the project.
What we stand for
Four values.
No poster on the wall.
Values are only real if they cost something. These four have cost us jobs, margin, and shortcuts — and they're why clients stay.
Proof, not promises
We ship our own products with our own money before we ask for yours. Everything we sell, we run ourselves first.
Plain language
Short sentences. Specific numbers. Named trade-offs. If we can't explain it at your counter, we don't build it.
Built to outlast
We still answer the phone in month 18. Infrastructure only earns its name when it keeps working after everyone stops looking.
Yours, and local
You own the code, the content, and the keys. Your data stays in Canada. We answer in both official languages.
How we make money
The business model,
out loud.
Most agencies hide how the money works. Ours fits in three lines — and none of them grows unless you ask it to.
Fixed-scope builds
You pay once for a defined thing, and you own it outright.
- Websites from $2,200 CAD
- Mobile apps from $7,500 CAD
- AI tools from $2,400 CAD
Care plans
A flat monthly fee keeps it fast, secure and current — and you can leave anytime; the work stays yours.
- From $110/month, cancel anytime
- Updates, backups, security
- A human answers, in EN or FR
Our own products
NIZAM subscriptions and our games fund the studio between client builds — and keep our engineering honest.
- NIZAM — AI quoting, three tiers
- Games on mobile & Steam
- Built and run by the same team
What we don't do: percentages of your ad spend, retainers that quietly grow, or contracts that lock you in.
Our products
We build for
ourselves, too.
Client work pays the bills. These are ours — built on our own time. Proof we ship, not just pitch.

CATASTROPHE
Build a cosy cat kingdom. Survive the rat hordes.
CATastrophe fuses city-building with tower defence. Raise a village of cats on a hand-painted island, fuse matching buildings into Districts and Zones, then defend against forty escalating waves of amphibious rats. A cosy build phase, then chaos — over and over, harder each time.
- City-builder × tower defence
- District & Zone fusion system
- Five paths: food, economy, military, faith, science
- 28+ buildings, four-age tech tree
- 40-wave escalating campaign
- Hand-painted isometric pixel art

YOURLATTE
Real fluid physics. Real latte art. One phone.
YOURLATTE is a latte-art game where the milk obeys real fluid dynamics — a GPU Navier-Stokes solver running live on your phone. Pour height decides whether the milk dives under the crema or blooms white on the surface, so hearts, tulips and rosettas come from real barista technique, not canned animations.
- Real-time GPU fluid simulation
- Pour-height physics, like a real bar
- 24 levels — first dot to swan etch
- Etching needle & spoon tools
- Save & share your best pours
- Procedural pour audio + haptics

The studio
“Engineering that outlasts us.”
Aqueduct Medya is a small studio on Elgin Street in Ottawa. We work like engineers, not an agency: short sentences, specific numbers, named trade-offs.
We’re 30% more than the cheapest quote because we still pick up the phone in month 18. Your data stays in Canada. We answer in both official languages. And we’d rather lose the job than oversell it.
The Romans built aqueducts that still stand two thousand years later. We build the digital kind — to a smaller scale, but the same idea: infrastructure that quietly keeps working.
