Sokpop Collective, also known as simply Sokpop (Dutch for "sock puppet"), is an independent video game development studio located in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The studio was founded in 2015 and consists of four people. The studio is run as a collective, with no formal leadership structure or managers, but a flat hierarchy where everyone works as equals.[1]
Sokpop is known for releasing one new game each month. They run a Patreon, where they sell these games through a subscription-like model,[2] in addition to selling the games on Steam and Itch.io for non-patrons. A couple of their games have become hits, such as simmiland and Stacklands, the latter of which won the "Best Innovation" award at the 2022 Dutch Game Awards. The collective itself was given the "Awesome Achievement Award" that same year.[3]
