ABOUT THE STUDIO
We are Cup Code Studio.
An independent game studio from Madinah.
It started with a simple wish.
To make a game we’d want to play ourselves.
That’s where the learning, experiments, prototypes, mistakes and retries began.
Cup Code didn’t start as a big-company idea. It started as an attempt to make something real — by one developer, between a cup of coffee and a line of code.
One developer, a whole studio.

Founder & developer عبدالرحمن وائل صبغة الله
Abdulrahman Wael Sibghatullah founded Cup Code Studio in Madinah and currently runs it alone: writing the code, designing the game systems, experimenting with art and sound, and reading every message personally.
MADINAH · 24.47°N 39.61°E
From Madinah.
Madinah is where Cup Code Studio began. We don’t want to turn the place into decoration. It’s part of the beginning, of the environment we work in, and of the character we carry while building worlds that don’t have to look like where they started.
HOW WE WORK
How we work
Test before assuming
An idea that can’t be tested stays just an idea.
Cut what doesn’t work
Time already spent on something isn’t a reason to keep it.
Quality before noise
We’d rather show something once it’s ready to be shown.
Learn while building
This is the beginning — we don’t pretend to have every answer.
THE CARDAMOM
Why cardamom?
In Madinah, as in every Saudi home, hospitality starts with a cup of coffee. And in every cup, a cardamom pod.
Cup Code carries the cup in its name, and cardamom is the small signature that comes with it: in the icon, the separators, the success messages, and at the bottom of every page. A small detail that reminds us where we started, however different the worlds we build.
Look for it around the site. Sometimes it opens.
FIRST PROJECT
The first thing we’re building: CAGEHAUL.
The studio’s first project is CAGEHAUL, a co-op horror game for up to four players on PC, still in development. We show only what is ready to show.
