Independent slot studio · Stockholm · Sweden

Slots that earn the second spin.

Welix Studios designs the math, draws the symbols, scores the soundtrack, and ships the whole thing — end to end, in-house.

Now playing · first release

The first one's shipping.

Live on Stake Engine. Math-tuned for retention, art hand-drawn end to end, soundtrack composed against the reel. The second is already in the sim chamber.

Title two · Q3 2026
A slot has two seconds to make you want a third spin. We build for those two seconds — and the hundred small choices behind them.
Craft

Four crafts. Every release, end to end.

01 · Math

Math, before anything else

Volatility curve, RTP, max-win path — the math is decided first and the rest of the game has to live with it. We sim millions of rounds before a single asset gets drawn.

02 · Art

Symbols with presence

Hand-drawn key art. Per-symbol animation rigs that breathe. We treat the reel like a stage — every symbol earns its slot, no filler.

03 · Audio

Music as a mechanic

Bespoke scores that respond to the math: the loop tightens on anticipation, the drop lands on a real win. The soundtrack isn't background — it's feedback.

04 · Independence

No outside cooks

Independent and self-funded. No publisher gates, no committee notes, no asset packs from a stock library. Every line of code, frame of art, and bar of music is ours, on purpose.

Process

From blank reel to live slot.

Concept & theme

Pick the feeling first — a tone, a tempo, a setting players want to spend time inside. If we wouldn't replay it, we kill it before a single asset is drawn.

Week 1concept lock

Math model & sims

Volatility curve, RTP target, max-win path, paytable, feature trigger rates. We sim 10⁹+ rounds until the distribution feels right — not just on paper, but in the way it'll actually land.

Weeks 2–31B-spin sim

Art direction & symbol design

Key art, symbol set, animation rigs, reel staging. Each symbol gets breath and a beat — no stock, no filler. Hand-drawn end to end.

Weeks 3–6visual lock

Audio score & sync

A bespoke loop and stinger set composed against the math. Anticipation tightens, real wins drop. The score is wired to the game, not laid over it.

Weeks 5–7audio lock

Weeks 6–9internal QA
