An independent games studio in Griffith, New South Wales.
We build simulation-first games where the world itself is the toy: every pixel is live matter that runs, cracks, freezes and falls. Our first title, MOLTYN, is a physics superhero sandbox launching in Early Access on Steam on 12 November 2026. The free demo is on Steam now.
Melt a city into the sea. Flood it. Freeze what is left.
A volcanic island, a town below it and the powers of the earth in your hands. Spray lava off the crater rim and it runs downhill into the streets. Open the sea and it finds every basement. Nothing on screen is scenery.
Free-play sandbox worlds, a mission campaign built as excuses to use the powers, and a level editor with shareable codes.

A small team with an engine of its own.
Hingston Digital was founded in 2026 to build MOLTYN. We are a small distributed team, primarily based in Griffith in the New South Wales Riverina, with collaborators elsewhere in Australia.
Founder Andrew Hingston has spent twenty years building software and infrastructure, holds a Bachelor of Arts in graphic design and a Master's in Information Technology, and writes both the engine and the game. Character and key art for MOLTYN are by Alex Hingston, pixelled by hand.
We ship small and often, act on every playtest note, and would rather make a toy people cannot put down than a feature list.
