The Flight Log
A Decade of Departures From Redchurch Street
From a two-person prototype crew to a 24-strong studio, our route map has always run through Shoreditch. Here is how we got our wings.
- 2014
First Boarding Call
Founded above a coffee roaster on Redchurch Street with a single Unity prototype and a rented render box. Our debut jam entry, "Emberline", shipped to 40,000 downloads in six weeks.
- 2017
Long-Haul Route Added
Signed our first co-development contract, porting a AA action title to console in nine months. The studio grew to eleven and moved into the current Shoreditch loft.
- 2020
In-House Engine Cleared for Takeoff
Shipped Emberforge, our proprietary real-time engine, cutting iteration times by 60%. It now powers every internal project and two licensed partner titles.
- 2024
Flagship Departure
"Ashfall Chronicles", our 40-hour original RPG, entered production with a 24-person crew across design, art, engineering, and audio, targeting a 2026 release.

What Partners Say After Landing
“They took our stalled console port and hit gold master three weeks early. The Emberforge tooling made our own engineers faster overnight.”
M
Marcus T.
Executive Producer, Manchester · March 2025
“The vertical slice InfernoRealmQuest built got us our Series A. Publishers thought it was a finished game, not a six-week sprint.”
P
Priya R.
Studio Founder, Bristol · November 2024
“Ten years of RPG craft shows in the combat feel. Their designers argue about hitstop frames the way sommeliers argue about vintages.”
D
Daniel K.
Creative Director, Edinburgh · July 2024
“Their live-ops pod cut our crash rate by 70% in one season and shipped every event on schedule. Genuinely calm under fire.”
