A small studio that loves the hard problems.
ForgeVector Software Limited is a small, technical UK team led by William Bowyer from Ipswich. We have spent more than ten years building games, Minecraft systems, software and online communities, and we are happiest when a project has a genuinely difficult engineering problem at its heart.
From running servers to shipping software.
We started where a lot of the best builders do: making things for the love of it. Games, plugins, systems and online communities, including running SilexPvP, a competitive Minecraft network, and building custom software for other communities and clients. Operating servers under real load taught us how to write code that actually holds up.
After studying IT to Level 3 with a triple distinction (D*D*D) and completing formal management and project-planning training, our founder moved into full-time, self-employed software work. That training is why every ForgeVector project is planned thoroughly, documented and seen through, never handed over half finished.
Today we lead with game development and large integrated systems, with Minecraft as our specialism, and apply the same engineering to software and the web. ReplayCore, our own live product, is the clearest proof of how far that reaches, into a full platform spanning a developer API, a cloud backend and a 1:1 browser renderer.

Technical, honest and built to last.
Engineering, not shortcuts
We care about doing the hard parts well: performance, reliability and clean architecture, not just something that looks right in a demo.
Straight answers
If an idea will not work, or is not worth the spend, we will tell you. Trust is worth far more to us than one more invoice.
Built to last
Clean, maintainable code and systems that keep working long after launch, not something abandoned the moment it ships.
