The Studio

Who We Are

A small, senior team building worlds players never want to leave.

Kingsroad Games was founded on a belief that the road to a world worth returning to is paved one deliberate step at a time. We build on Roblox because it puts games in front of millions of players, the kind of reach most studios spend years chasing.

Our first title is in the forge now. It is going to be something special, and it is the first step of many down the Kingsroad. We will share more when the time is right.

We keep the team small and senior on purpose. Fewer hands, higher standards, and full ownership of the systems that make a world feel alive.

The Team

Behind the crown

Cody Nelson

Founder & Lead Developer

Cody has been building on Roblox since 2006, back when the platform was brand new, and has spent nearly two decades shipping large-scale experiences played by millions. He is a senior engineer at heart, and works just as fluently across game design, UX, UI, production, and the business side, which lets him own a game end to end rather than just one slice of it. He is also a mentor and team lead who sets a high bar for code quality and keeps teams shipping fast and clean. His approach is simple: treat every design as a hypothesis, playtest it relentlessly, and iterate toward the fun, with an obsession for polish, gameplay feel, and failing forward fast.
