Creative Toolchain for Solo Game Devs

ONE PERSON
ONE WORLD
SHIP IT

Kadima builds games — and the toolchain behind them. Draggen and Talebuddy exist for solo game developers who want to ship a compelling world without publishers, bloated teams, or runaway budgets deciding what gets made.

SCROLL

ONE PERSON
SHOULD BE ENOUGH

Too many games get shaped by publishers, process, and budget.
We think one committed creator
should still be able to ship.

Kadima is not just building tools in the abstract. We make games ourselves, and the ecosystem came out of a direct problem: the traditional path to shipping often means publishers, larger teams, bigger budgets, and weaker creative control.

Kadima's ecosystem is our answer to that. Draggen helps solo developers build a coherent visual identity. Talebuddy keeps story, lore, and continuity under control. The goal is not collaboration at scale. The goal is giving one person enough leverage to make a compelling game.

We are intentionally building for the small team and especially for the solo developer. The AI is there to remove friction, not authorship, so the creative direction stays with the person making the game.

// 01
WORK FROM THE VAULT

Your Obsidian notes should not live on the sidelines. Moodboards, story context, and world details belong in the same working system.

// 02
BUILD FOR THE SOLO DEV

This ecosystem is intentionally aimed at one-person and small-team workflows, not at recreating a bloated studio stack inside a web app.

// 03
KEEP THE VISION YOURS

Use Kadima's ecosystem to keep control of your world, your tone, and your decisions instead of sanding them down to fit a larger machine.

BUILT TO
CREATE

Draggen handles visual direction. Talebuddy handles narrative continuity. Together they form a creative workflow built by making games, aimed directly at solo developers. These are the first two tools — not the last.

Visual Identity & Art Direction
DRAGGEN

An AI moodboard designer where your layout is your prompt. Build boards on an infinite canvas, generate and replace images with AI, and export polished visual direction — from mood to material in one canvas.

  • Infinite canvas with images, text, arrows, and boxes
  • AI Sidekick for image generation, edits, and layout help
  • Generate web and UI concepts from your board style
  • Export PNG, SVG, single assets, or full board ZIP data
  • Obsidian sync and API access for connected workflows
Narrative Workflow & Consistency
TALEBUDDY

A writing app where your story remembers everything. As you write, the Creative Ledger tracks characters, locations, items, and lore automatically. AI tools help you refine scenes, push past blocks, and keep a growing world coherent — without replacing your voice.

  • Creative Ledger with entity detection and inline highlights
  • Expand, compress, rephrase, and thesaurus text transforms
  • Automatic page summaries and contextual writer's block help
  • Local on-device AI on the free tier with cloud models on pro
  • Obsidian vault browser and shared world integration
One subscription. Both tools. AI removes friction, not authorship.

BUILD YOUR
WORLD SOLO

Kadima's toolchain exists because we wanted a better way to make games ourselves. If you're a solo developer with a world to build, these tools help you move fast without handing creative control to anyone else.
