About

Games by
Brenden Gillis.

The Studio

I started Cold Soul Studios in 2025 as a home for the games I wanted to make. It gave me one place to bring together code, art, sound, and whatever strange idea felt worth chasing.

I work in Godot and make the soundtracks here too. Tumble Type is out now. Fishin' and Sokoban Sumo are in development, with no release dates announced.

The Developer

I'm Brenden Gillis, a game developer, musician, and audio engineer. I play drums, bass, guitar, and sing, and I release some of my music as Faded Ronin.

Before games, most of my work was recording and releasing music through Cold Soul Records. Cold Soul Studios started in 2025, when game development stopped being a side experiment and became its own thing.

I use Godot because I like working with it, and because it lets me build the games without fighting the tool.

The Ecosystem

Cold Soul Studios is the games. Cold Soul Records is the label. Faded Ronin is one of the names I release music under. They overlap because I'm the person running all three, but they do different jobs.
