Our Projects

We are working on a diverse range of products including supporting our active games and are currently in full production of our third and most exciting game. We do not focus on one genre or platform; we focus on making great games.

Our current project is an innovative open-world, pixel art role-playing game for PC and consoles that brings new life to the indie RPG pixel art gaming scenes. Features include a unique conversational dialogue system, custom worldbuilding tools that combine handcrafted environments with procedural elements to create thousands of unique locations to explore, unique fast-paced combat mechanics, and a focus on accessibility.

World of Anterra is an epic non-linear, open-world role playing adventure. The game features a handcrafted open world, deep progression systems, fast paced combat, and rich lore, all wrapped in a satisfying and tactile interface. It’s the type of game only an independent studio could make!
