Independent Minecraft Development
Emoticon Games is a small, independent team focused on long-term Minecraft projects. We’ve shipped at scale before — and we’re building again.
Current Focus
Our full attention is currently dedicated to SodaMC — a new Earth-based survival server built using everything
we learned from previous large-scale launches.
Emoticon Games is not yet operating as a full studio or offering external services.
Built for longevity — progression, economy, and community-first loops that keep servers alive.
Clean systems, consistent updates, and performance-minded development. No messy “throw it live” builds.
Everything learned through BananaMC — what worked, what didn’t, and what scales — is baked in.
Once the second project matures, Emoticon Games evolves into a proper studio. We’re building the foundation now.
Proven History
Our first major Earth SMP project. It became our breakout success — reaching massive audiences and validating what we’re capable of building when we commit to quality.
A world-scale Earth SMP built to test ideas fast, ship cleanly, and iterate with community feedback.
A new Earth Survival world with long-term progression and community-first gameplay.
What We’re Building
SodaMC is our second major Earth-based project. It’s built with a stronger foundation, cleaner systems, and more intentional long-term loops — designed to stay fun months after launch.
Structured loops that reward consistent play without turning into a grind.
Balanced systems that keep value, trades, and progression meaningful.
Features designed to build groups, rivalries, stories, and retention.
Frequent improvements based on real player behavior — not guesses.
Looking Ahead
When the second server reaches maturity and proves long-term success, Emoticon Games moves into the next phase:
expanding into a proper studio with a bigger team and more ambitious projects.
For now, this site exists as a simple, transparent record of what we’re building.
