Clockwork Labs

Clockwork Labs, established in 2019, is a game development company headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company is dedicated to creating massively-multiplayer online games that emphasize societal structures, encouraging players to interact and cooperate within virtual worlds. Their inaugural project is a community-driven sandbox MMORPG designed to support various gameplay styles, including free trade and sandbox environments. Clockwork Labs is supported by notable investors such as Supercell, Firstminute Capital, Skycatcher, 1Up Ventures, and Supernode, and has attracted attention from industry-leading figures like Hilmar Pétursson of CCP Games and David Helgason of Unity Technologies. The company employs a flat organizational structure, eschewing traditional titles and organizational charts in favor of small, product-focused teams. This structure supports their design philosophy, which aims to empower players to create and collaborate, thereby fostering the emergence of new and innovative gameplay experiences.
