R&D • Real‑Time • Reliable

We engineer real‑time systems that ship — games, streaming tech, and mission‑critical software.

Midnight Status is the studio behind Swap Fire (console franchise), Newcade (arcade platform), and StreamSDK (real‑time interactive streaming). We also deliver advanced R&D in applied AI and ship production software for partners in analytics, finance, medtech, and DoD.

Selected Work

Proven IP and platforms built for performance, scale, and longevity.

AI & Synthetic Data

Automated pipelines that generate annotated synthetic imagery for training and evaluation, used across R&D and production workflows.

Core Capabilities

We combine research‑grade rigor with production pragmatism.

Real‑Time Systems & Engines

Custom engines and runtime tooling for simulation, games, and interactive media. Focus on determinism, performance, and deployment simplicity.

Networking & Streaming

Low‑latency transport, NAT traversal, and resilient protocols for synchronized multi‑user experiences across constrained networks.

Graphics & Embedded

From retro hardware (e.g., SGDK/Genesis) to modern GPUs and mobile — we optimize pipelines to hit frame budgets without drama.

Data & Analytics

Event ingestion, reporting, and decision support systems for commercial analytics and finance.

Medtech & DoD R&D

Prototypes to production software under rigorous security and compliance constraints.

Consulting & Partnerships

We partner as hands‑on builders and technical leads — from feasibility studies to shipping v1.

Sectors We Serve

Gaming • Analytics & Finance • Medtech • Defense

Our engagements range from interactive entertainment to mission‑critical systems. The common thread: systems thinking, measurable outcomes, and robust delivery.

Publications & Recognition

Our synthetic image generation system was featured in an I/ITSEC white paper for training and simulation, among other technical write‑ups and talks.

We design closed‑loop datasets and evaluation suites that pair synthetic imagery with ground‑truth labels, accelerating model development while preserving security constraints.
