About
Tempered first,
then shipped
TemperForge is a studio building apps that take over the calculations and checks you repeat every day, and games that are short to play and long to remember.
What we do
We only build in the direction that saves people time
Plenty of everyday questions still need a table and a calculator before they give up an answer. Why the electricity bill came out that high, when your pension starts and how much it pays, whether there is support you could claim — the answers are public, but getting them out costs time. We build the things that spend that time for you.
Games run on a different axis. Something that ends in thirty seconds to a few minutes and still makes you want to open it again, plus one world we intend to finish however long it takes. Different in character, same test — was the player's time worth it?
How we build
We do not push on instinct; we hold to a procedure
We are a small team, so keeping to the order is the only way we can keep the quality.
Measure before starting
We check first whether there is demand and whether someone already does it well. We do not build and then look for a use. We write down which axes we can win on and which we cannot before we begin.
Gather references first
Before building a screen we find the best real examples in that field, capture them and measure them as numbers. Start without references and the result is the average of the maker's own taste.
Measure the screen we built
We capture the finished screen and check contrast range, effective colour count and legibility when shrunk. We fix only what falls short, then measure again. We re-shoot before we write down that it is fixed.
Leave a verification report before shipping
For every deliverable we write what was built, how it was checked, and what is still open. Working and worth shipping are two different things.
Ads only where they do not get in the way
No ad goes where it blocks what you are doing. For anyone who would rather not see them, one payment removes them.
We write down what we do not know
We do not fill an unverified number with something plausible. We do not describe something unreleased as released. If a field on this site is blank, it means it has not been decided yet.
The name
TemperForge — the forge that tempers
The name joins temper (to harden by heat and cooling) with forge. Heating, hammering, and cooling something until it holds — that is how we build. The Korean trade name is 템퍼포지.
Company
Business registration
Business registration is in progress. The registration number, representative and address will appear here as they are issued. We do not write down values that have not been decided.
