How we make our games
Story first
Each game starts as a written story: characters with their own lives and plans, a plot that holds up on its own, and choices that change how it ends.
The art
We build each scene and character in 3D, then render final images with AI image models and review every frame by hand. Nothing is generated while you play. Characters are not modelled on real people.
