HQ - COMMAND

Now in Beta - Free to join

Your game dev team, finally in one place.

HQ Command is the project management platform built for indie game developers. Organise your team, protect your IP, and build better games together.

Get started in minutes.

Already have a Game Design Document?

Upload it and go.

Don't start from scratch.

 

HQ Command reads your existing Game Design Document. Word, PDF, Markdown, or plain text and maps it straight into your project workspace.

 

Your vision, mechanics, story, and scope land exactly where they belong, ready for your team to build on.

​

No rekeying.

No reformatting.

Just import and get to work.

We're building with you!

HQ Command is actively being built with real feedback from the Game Dev Local community.

You'll get early access to every feature as it ships, and your feedback directly shapes what we build next.

Found something that could be better?

There's a feedback button right inside the platform, use it. We read every one.

Everything your team needs. Nothing they don't.

A living GDD your whole team can read, edit, or suggest changes to, with owner approval built in.
