Snowed in, or out?
Welcome to a New Year & a new set of challenges for the Horizon Studios team.
The first challenge we’ve faced so far this year was quite simply, how to get in to our office thru icy roads & numerous inches of snow. While the rest of the UK fell foul of this wonderful new thing that seemed to bring the country to a stand still, we in the North are more used to this kind of weather so fortunately were a little more prepared than the rest of the country. Not that it made getting in or out any easier, but we managed despite all odds.
So who are we?
Horizon Studios are a culmination of two different parties coming together to produce an overall larger entity.
The first is our head office in Washington, Tyne and Wear which co-exists with the parent company Broadening Horizons who we will eventually bring on board to handle promotions, presentation and merchandise for any games developed under the Horizon Studios label.
The second party are a team of fellow students from the DR Studios who devised the Train2Game games design and development course (of which we are also students) who we believe are on the right track to becoming potential candidates for other game companies (unless they decide to stick with us and create awesome games in the future).
Unlike a lot of the groups we’ve seen emerging from the course on the Train2Game forum we’re not under any illusions that we’re going to be knocking out any great games in the next week, nor do we believe that we’ll be churning out new games every fortnight. Instead, we have ideas and we’re developing them. We’ll release them when we feel we’re coming to the point where we believe that we have viable products to show the world, and needless to say at that point we will start to promote these games both here and potentially by creating game specific websites.
We’re also open to collaborations with other companies who are currently developing games, or who have game ideas and are looking for someone to create concept art, game characters, world environments and more so if you feel that we have something to offer each other feel free to get in touch.
