Overview

GPUN develops subculture‑genre games and is currently building 'Project Terrarium,' a 3D mobile mech‑shooting game where humanity fights to reclaim Earth from alien invaders from an underground base while training android pilots and building combat robots. The studio emphasizes strong character appeal and a solid narrative to engage subculture fans and create immersive experiences. The team is led by CEO Choi Ju‑hong, formerly a director on Destiny Child and Nikki: Goddess of Victory at Shift Up, and includes developers with experience from Shift Up and NCSoft. GPUN plans to accelerate Project Terrarium development following its recent seed funding, with a first showcase planned for the second half of this year and core gameplay completion targeted by next year. The company is hiring across design, programming, and art to support development and live operations. Market data cited with the company notes subculture mobile game revenues had a CAGR above 40% from 2020–2023 and grew to a roughly 18% share of mobile game revenues, supporting GPUN's thesis of global expansion and strong fandom‑driven monetization potential.
