From a Dream in Soon Valley to a Rising Game Studio
It all began in the quiet hills of Soon Valley, where our founder, Shahryar Saqib, set up a game development academy named Self Starter Academy to empower young minds. Students from the local community were trained in the art of game creation—from design to development. After months of dedication, a rigorous selection process brought together a team of passionate individuals ready to take the next step.

SELF STARTER ACADEMY
ONTRIGGERJOY STUDIO
Born from that very initiative, OnTriggerJoy is a growing indie game studio built by the first batch of Self Starter Academy trainees. with a passion for storytelling and innovation, the studio now develops original games that reflect creativity, purpose, and pure joy straight from Soon Valley to the world.
We are passionate game developers who believe in taking creative risks where others hesitate. While many companies choose to play it safe, we embrace bold, innovative, and unique ideas to craft experiences that stand apart. Our inspiration comes from groundbreaking titles such as RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress, Stationeers, Crusader Kings, and Kenshi games that redefined what interactive storytelling and player driven worlds could be. Like them, we aim to push boundaries, explore new possibilities, and build games that leave a lasting impact.
