Indie Studio Spotlight

Moon Beast Productions

Moon Beast Productions

Our spotlight is currently focused on a relatively new studio staffed by paragons of the game dev world called Moon Beast Productions. The team at Moon Beast have been quietly grinding away since about 2021, and have only recently come back to town to let us in on the treasure they have been building. The excitement ramping up around this team of RPG legends and their latest project Darkhaven is palpable.

Crate Entertainment

Crate Entertainment was founded in 2008 to unshackle developers from corporate interests and develop games with deep gameplay and creative integrity, in the genres we love. That isn’t to say we ignore the financials but rather, we have our own development process whereby we believe sound judgment, dedication to our products and efficient development will naturally result in stable profitability. We know the audience for our games because we build games that we ourselves want to play.

Quest of the unknown wanderers

“Emerging from the ancient Temples and Dungeons of ASCII,
We sought the Sanctuary of Tristram, descended into Hell beguiled by the brothers.
Thereafter Exiled and washed upon foreign shores we quested on by torchlight,
battled the gods and Titans of myth and legend to the End of Time, and beyond.
Until at last we reached a black sea whereon this nameless rock, this jagged island
forged in some nightmare of a dreamland lay, and journeyed on… “

– unknown wanderer.
