HojoStudio
Hojo Studio was formed in 2013 by Rick Salter and Jola Szymanska, two designers from Sydney, Australia. In 2022, Stephanie Salter joined as Executive Producer and Chief Operating Officer.
Our DNA lies in unique characters, wild ideas and original IP everyone can enjoy. Our creative process begins by imagining endearing, unique concepts we can shape entire worlds around. Our goal is to elicit what we call “the Hojo Smile”. A cheeky, adorable irreverence in our games that fans find memorable and instantly fall in love with. We build uniquely Australian games - charming and cheeky in equal measure.
Hojo is a family orientated studio who value equity, collaboration and kindness. This is reflected in the team, the games we make and the partners we work with.
We passionately believe in the artform of games and their potential to build inclusive, fun experiences for families and friends. We believe art and entertainment can be the same thing. And should always have the courage not to take itself too seriously.
