O U R S T O R Y

We are a small team of Game Artists working together on a new project called Temporeal; a stylized game that works in time based puzzles into an interactive narrative environment. Our team consists of 7 individuals who are all looking to make waves in the game industry.

We started out as students studying the Art of Videogames at Escape Studios in London. After studying for 3 years side by side we decided to team up during our Integrated Masters course and start up as an Independent Games Company. Originally our vision was to create a unique experience over the game development and release a Demo in Q2 of 2022. However as Time passed, the Temporeal Project grew in design and we wanted to continue working on the project until we had a final game we could bring to our Fans.

The Team consists of a bunch of Games Artists who range from specialisms in Environment art to Material art. Over time and as we worked on the project we also were assigned our roles within the company. As we now are we are the founding 7 of the company, with some of us working in the PR department, while others work as business strategists. This is the First time any of us have worked to make a Start up Company, and so it is a fun learning experience for all of us.

We hope that you will follow our journey closely and follow us on our social media to see the team in action as we work towards releasing Temporeal. We are dedicated to bringing you only the very best we can offer.
