Not Today Studios is a founder-led creative company building original software, games and stories.
We create products designed to stand on their own while contributing to a long-term portfolio of original intellectual property.
creating original work worth owning.
WHAT WE BUILD today
Today, Not Today Studios is focused on three connected areas. Each has a different role in building a portfolio of original work.
Technology
Crivot is in development. We’re building a creative-learning and practice app to help people build habits, make things and finish projects through structured guides and practical work.
Games
HOWZAT! Dice Cricket is released on iOS and Android. It brings dice-based cricket to mobile, with quick matches and repeat play at its heart.
Labs
Labs explores ideas through focused experiments. Screenwriting: One Hour a Day is a released app with lessons and practical writing challenges. It helped inform the direction of Crivot.
Software and games are our focus today. Original stories, publishing and film and television remain part of the longer-term ambition.
An IP-First Studio
At the heart of Not Today Studios is a commitment to creating and owning original intellectual property.
Rather than building products in isolation, we develop ideas that have the potential to grow naturally over time. A successful game might inspire a story. A software product might lead to educational content. The strongest ideas are given the opportunity to evolve while remaining part of the same creative vision.
By retaining ownership, we're able to focus on quality, long-term thinking and creative independence instead of short-term opportunities.
Meet the Founder
Not Today Studios was founded by James Stott, a quality engineering leader, product builder and writer with more than 16 years of experience delivering software and leading quality across complex technology projects.
That background shapes how the company operates today: build deliberately, focus on quality, finish what you start and think in decades rather than release cycles.
Not Today Studios exists to create original software, games and stories that remain owned, developed and nurtured over the long term.
