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 serves a different purpose while contributing to the same long-term vision.

technology

We build practical software that helps people create, learn and finish meaningful work. Crivot is our flagship technology product and forms the foundation for future creator tools.

Games

We create original games designed to stand on their own as enjoyable experiences while contributing to our growing portfolio of original intellectual property.

labs

Labs is where new ideas are explored through small, focused experiments. Every project helps us learn, validate concepts and shape future products.

Together, these areas represent the work we're doing today while laying the foundations for the company we intend to build over the coming decades.

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.
