(01) The studio, in brief

We build things early that are meant to last. Fewer projects, finished properly. No outsourcing, no templates, no page builders. Just the work, done by hand, by people who care how it feels in the third week of use, not just the first five minutes.

Named after Lythronax argestes, a tyrannosaur from the Wahweap Formation, Utah. c. 80 million years old.

(02) What we make

Three disciplines.
One standard.

(03) Featured — Our first game

Number 10

You are the Prime Minister. Set the Budget, get your laws through the Commons, face PMQs, the papers and the markets, win two elections, and keep the world at peace through diplomacy, force or, if it comes to it, Trident.

The door of Number 10 at night, painted, the lamp lit above it.
The full interface: the world map, the Cabinet tab, the Treasury figures and a front page.
I

The job

The whole government on one screen: the world map, the Cabinet, the Treasury, the polls and tomorrow’s front page.

The Battle of Tartu on the map, with the war card open: stance, air superiority, losses and allies.
II

At war

Battles fought day by day. Set the stance, plan the operation, call on your allies, and count the cost on both sides.

Five newspaper front pages on the same war.
III

The papers

Five front pages, five opinions. The same war reads very differently depending on who prints it.

Prime Minister’s Questions: the question, the briefing and four possible answers.
IV

PMQs

A question, a briefing and four answers, with the Leader of the Opposition smelling blood.

Parliament: bills before the House with vote forecasts, and this month’s proposals.
V

Parliament

Every bill before the Commons, with the vote forecast and the rebels counted. Whip them, or draft another.

The Treasury: income tax, VAT and duties on sliders, with who pays down the side.
VI

The Treasury

Every tax lever, who pays, and what it does to growth and the polls. Wait for Budget day, or pay for announcing early.

A NATO summit: the agenda, Britain’s choices on each item, and one-to-one meetings with other leaders.
VII

The summit

A different summit every year: the host’s cause, the crisis of the day, and leaders to win over one to one.

Election night: the seat count, the swing, and Britain filling in seat by seat on a hex map.
VIII

Election night

All 650 seats, declared one by one. Win outright, or work out what a hung parliament will let you do.

(06) The studio

Small by design.
Built to last.

Lythronax Ltd is an independent studio registered in England and Wales, working from Lincolnshire. We don’t outsource. Our products carry their own names; the studio stays in the footer, where it belongs.

Our namesake, Lythronax argestes, was described in 2013 from the Wahweap Formation of southern Utah: at the time one of the oldest known tyrannosaurs. Built early. Lasted.
