Though we build games in HomeTeam, we are not a studio, so making the best games we can is not our top priority. HomeTeam exists to help members practice and get practical training, as well as hands-on experience on original team projects that release on schedule. The freeware games below are a byproduct of how our members are exploring and developing their potential year-round.
