Cyclops is a management workspace made to help game studios navigate co-dev and art outsourcing.
How it works
yourstudio.cyclopstracking.com/w/ironhold/boardA task generates its subtask chain with dependencies wired. First step ready, the rest waiting. Statuses are fully customizable for project needs.
One source of truth
Cyclops helps organize a large quantity of tasks coming in from different sources in a way that suits your organization. Rather than a rigid production tool, Cyclops allows you to build out a pipeline that works for your team.

Review
Cyclops has a built-in viewer to help provide feedback and view incoming art. You can simply upload paint-overs to your message or use the in-app markup tools to quickly point out areas related to your notes.

Page builder
Producers build pages in the app. No engineers, no BI tool.
Automations
Type what should happen in plain words. The assistant drafts the rule from the same blocks you could build by hand, and asks when something is ambiguous. A rule can never widen who sees what.
Enable and disable automations as needed.
Private beta
Beta workspaces are free while we finish. Future pricing is currently not available.
FAQ
Beta workspaces are free. Pricing lands before general availability. We're testing it during the beta rather than announcing a number we'd have to walk back. Invited vendor artists are free either way; the studio carries the subscription.
No. A vendor organization sees only its own assigned subtasks, and artists never receive bid or cost figures. That isolation is enforced in the query layer. It is a product rule, not a permission checkbox someone can get wrong.
Cyclops is quicker to set up and built specifically for video game outsourcing. Statuses, submissions, reviews and bid privacy work out of the box, with no pipeline department required. It's for studios that need a tracking tool without the complexity of ShotGrid.
Define your task types once (Character, Weapon, Prop, Environment) and every new task generates its subtask chain with dependencies wired. No consultants, no onboarding project.
Absolutely. Nothing about Cyclops requires an external partner: your own artists work the same boards, upload the same versions, and get the same review loop. The vendor isolation simply never comes into play until you invite one, and if outsourcing enters the picture later, the setup you already have carries over.
Yes. Statuses are your labels over a fixed set of categories, so renaming breaks nothing. Automations and rollups read the category underneath.
