Unleash Your Potential With Heathen

At Heathen, we're passionate about games and game development. We specialise in creating powerful tools and systems that empower developers to make better, more engaging games and apps.

We develop well-formed, documented tools and integrations for Unity, Unreal, Godot, and O3DE. Our focus is on usability, robustness, and native integration with each engine's ecosystem. Whether you're a programmer, artist, or designer, our tools help streamline your workflow and unlock new capabilities.

Check out some of the great games that have been Made with Heathen — over 200 shipped titles across all genres and scales.

🚀 We now have our own storefront and Git server

Source access, purchasing, and support have all moved to a home we run ourselves: heathen.group.

• More products — the full Toolkit catalog (see below) plus new releases land there first, and only there, going forward.
• Easier purchasing — a straightforward EUR checkout, one-time purchase or subscription, no per-seat GitHub tier juggling. One license covers your whole organization.
• A dedicated Git server — real source access on infrastructure we control, not routed through a third party.

Already a GitHub Sponsor? Nothing changes for you today, and nothing is being taken away — but you can get free, equivalent access on the new system right now: visit heathen.group/pricing, create an account, and click Link Sponsor Account to authorize through GitHub. No re-purchase, no gap in access.

Toolkits

We've recently restructured our tooling to make it easier to navigate and adopt.

Toolkit for Steamworks (Unity, Unreal, Godot & O3DE)

The best way to do more with Steamworks; available across every engine we support.
Includes code-free prefabs, easy-to-use components, and robust systems for identity, achievements, stats, multiplayer, and more. Not just another API wrapper.

Toolkit for Discord Social (Preview)

Currently available for Unity with Unreal support coming soon.
Brings Discord's OAuth2, presence, identity, and authorisation flows into your game with high-level components and full source.

Toolkit for Unity

A collection of our most popular runtime tools, modular and production-ready.

• Ballistics – physics-based projectile and weapon simulation
• Verlet – Verlet integration for soft body, rope, and reactive animation
• UX – drag-and-drop UI systems with common gameplay patterns
• Buoyancy – fast, stable buoyancy and water interaction
• Force FX – force-based gameplay effects and triggers

Toolkit for Unreal

Focused tools built for Unreal projects.

• Narratives – data-driven dialogue and quest systems with UMG and Blueprint support

Toolkit for Godot & O3DE

GameplayTags, Lexicon Localisation, and Ogham Storyteller — our tag, localisation, and dialogue/narrative systems, now available as Toolkits on both engines.

Each toolkit is backed by a detailed Knowledge Base with setup guides, usage examples, and API documentation. General game development tips and engine-specific best practices are also included.

Community and Support

We maintain an active Discord server where developers can get direct support, share knowledge, and connect with others in the industry.
You'll find:

• Live support via forum, chat, or DM
• Channels for feedback and feature requests
• A space to promote your work, offer or request contract help, and collaborate with others

About GitHub Sponsorship

Source access and support now live on our own storefront (see above), and that's where all new development happens. GitHub Sponsorship remains open and fully functional for existing sponsors — nothing is being cut off, and there's no deadline to act.

We will close GitHub Sponsorship to new sponsors once every current sponsor who wants to has had the opportunity to move to the direct offering — not before, and not as a hard cutover. If you're a sponsor and never switch, that's fine; your access continues.

If you're looking for bespoke licensing, contract, or consulting services, reach out through Discord, Email, or visit our licensing website.
