Rising Throne

Software that makes the abstract feel real.

Rising Throne is the studio behind Money Visualiser, ValueThen, PaperXTrade and Venture Empire. We turn money, history and markets into things you can see, try and play with.

Four products, one house

Each one takes something hard to picture (money at scale, centuries of prices, leverage, an empire) and gives it a shape you can see. Here they are as they really look, in their own films and screens.

What we hold ourselves to

  • Every figure names its source

    ValueThen shows the series behind every result and says N/A when the evidence runs out. Money Visualiser keeps each currency’s real denominations and note sizes, from the banks that issue them.

  • Play money stays play money

    PaperXTrade and Venture Empire run on virtual funds only. There are no deposits, no withdrawals and no real-money purchases, and the disclaimer never leaves the screen.
