Two paths.
One studio.
We’re Jim and Ryker. We started Iconic XP to learn, create, and turn our ideas into games — each finding our own way to build experiences worth remembering.

Different methods.
A shared ambition.
Learning the craft.
Ryker is learning game design and coding hands-on, without AI. His path is about understanding how games work and developing the skills to bring his own ideas to life.
Why Iconic XP
Experiences worth remembering.
Making games gives us something to pursue together, while leaving room for our own ideas. We want to create games people remember — and share what we learn as we build them.
