Prope Ltd. (pronounced "pro-peh", Latin for "beside" or "near") is an independent game development studio founded by former Sega designer Yuji Naka. Prope is partially funded by Sega as part of a "support program for Independent Game Creators". Prope began operations on June 1, 2006.

Ten members of Sega's Sonic Team joined Naka at Prope, which has a starting capital of 10 million yen (10% of which comes from Sega). Sega can exercise a right of first refusal option for publishing games made at Prope, though if Sega rejects a title produced by the new studio, Naka would then be free to approach other publishers.

Prope intends to create games with a graphical style that appeals to kids and adults at the same time, and to explore the possibilities of developing both 3D and 2D games. [ [http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=224701 Prope (Yuji Nakas studio) website relaunch - NeoGAF] ]

Titles
