Forging Logic Into Systems

LogiNestForge is the UK studio behind Utility Work X field-compliance software, Little Gary Games indie titles, and Cogsmith managed IT & custom engineering — design-led, built properly from the ground up.

Explore Our Work

A nest for software, games, and smart technology

LogiNestForge brings its arms under one roof — a software platforms team behind Utility Work X, an indie game studio at Little Gary Games, and a consultancy & engineering arm at Cogsmith covering managed IT, web & software, and custom smart-systems. Whether we're building a compliance platform for live streetworks, a tactical RPG, or a custom IoT device, the principle is the same: understand the problem properly, then forge the right solution.

How we work

Built properly, supported long-term

Four habits that show up in everything we ship, from compliance platforms to tactical RPGs.

Requirements first

Deep, structured discovery before a single line is written. We map the real workflow — not the one a generic tool assumes.

Field-tested design

Our team has years across utilities, construction, compliance, IT, and software engineering. We design with operational reality baked in.

Compliance & audit ready

Every action logged, every artefact retained. We design for the audit you don't know is coming, not the one you do.

Built to maintain

Typed data models, proper QA, real tooling. The systems we ship keep getting better long after launch.

Utility Work X — The Resource Planner

People, plant, equipment and site requirements, organised in one place. See what's needed, where it's assigned, and what gaps remain — then plan ahead, adjust on the fly, and stop double-booking, shortages, and last-minute scrambles before they start.

Utility Work X — Customer Service & Feedback, Tracked to Resolution

Register customer cases, site issues and feedback directly in the system — from the office or the field — then track every one through to resolution. No more feedback lost in spreadsheets, inboxes, or someone's memory.

Utility Work X — From Fast Incident Reporting to Real Prevention

In an emergency, no one should be hunting through menus. Utility Work X lets site teams raise an incident from any page in seconds — then turns those reports into an operational record you can actually learn from, helping teams move from reacting to problems to preventing them.

CogSmiths — Survey-Grade Precision Without the Survey-Grade Price

Modern phones are only accurate to about five metres — fine for finding a coffee shop, not fine for a utility survey. So we engineered our own portable RTK base station that feeds precision corrections straight into Utility Work X, turning a rough mobile fix into something you can actually trust on site.

Tactics of the Fractured Eternity — Every Tile Remembers

A turn-based hex tactics RPG built in Unity, where the battlefield isn't scenery — it's a combatant. Six fractured realms, living maps, and depth that comes from the board, not from bigger numbers.
