RockVine Games
Press Kit
A game studio with the spirit of the 80s and 90s
About the studio
RockVine Games is an independent game studio building titles that channel the texture, music and arcade energy of the 80s and 90s — pixel grit, neon palettes, synth-driven soundtracks, and the kind of moment-to-moment play loops the era was built on. Founded in 2026 by Yigit Karabag and headquartered in Dubai, the studio ships across mobile and desktop platforms.
About the founder
Yigit Karabag is a Turkish-born technologist, business executive and musician based in Dubai, and the founder of RockVine Games. He spent more than twenty years in enterprise data and analytics, working for global technology companies and leading data, machine learning and AI engagements across multiple industries — while writing and recording his own music on the side. RockVine Games is where those two lives converge: the discipline of enterprise software meeting the texture, melody and adventure spirit of the 80s and 90s he grew up on.
