Built in the Field, Finished with Pride

Bearded Vet Studios was founded by a military veteran who spent spare time doing something most veterans don't talk about — building video games from scratch.

Every product here ships the same way, whether it's a finished game or a tool built from one: no shortcuts, no filler, no subscriptions.

One-Tap Flyer RPG

Built from a real, finished game first, then stripped down into a starter kit. A complete arcade-flyer RPG for Godot 4 — story mode, endless mode, boss rush, classes, abilities, saves. Reskin it, don't rebuild it.

How We Build

🕹️

Finished, Not Live-Service

I grew up on games you bought once and beat — a real ending, no roadmap. No ads, no DLC treadmill, no battle pass. Just complete games, built the way they used to be.

💰

Pay Once, Own It

Every product is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Your money buys the whole thing.

Depth Over Flash

Easy to learn, hard to master. Built with real progression, real challenge, and real satisfaction when you win.
