Machinefun

Machinefun is a UK-based indie game studio founded by Shaun Mooney (concepting and 3D art) and Mark Wherrett (design and programming). Together they bring more than 40 years of industry experience to a shared goal: making original, tightly focused, polished games.

The studio’s debut title is Trash City Turbo, an arcade action-racing game with a stylized look and old-school design values. The team shares the “warts and all” side of development openly on Bluesky and X.

An arcade action-racing game where you drive a turbo-charged street sweeper through the grimy lower districts of the cyberpunk city of Neotropolis. Race to clean each area at high speed, take on a mega-corporation pushing automated robots into municipal work, and replay jobs to score the perfect run. Played in short bursts, with a stylized “Cyber-Chunk” look, no microtransactions and no time-wasting unlock systems.
