Ok, now that we got that out there, we can continue.
So over the past couple of days we have been setting up our branch studio from Birnam Wood Games. It’s called Offshoot-Studios and its snazzy new website went up yesterday, some work is still being done on it, but for the most part it is complete. You can see it here.
So why in the world is a four man team starting another company?
Well, we felt that the contract work we have been doing did not hold up to the vision of Birnam Wood Games, which was to capture a sense of wonder, excitement, and exploration. Our contract work is our stopgap, a way for us really grow as a company and get our footing. And while the work is fun, it still does not conform to the ideals of the company.
So Offshoot-Studio’s was born.
It is the face we wish to show potential clients, to help get them excited about working with us and it helped to narrow down exactly what we were willing to do outside the realm of traditional games. So Offshoot-Studios will be about bringing the idea of gameification, which is the application of game design thoughts and processes, to the business and corporate world.
By no means have we given up making games, not even close. We have actually just wrapped up production on Loc. We only need to test the game further before submitting to Apple and we have started working on two new projects, but until these games can support us financially, we need an alternative.
So if any of you are interested in what gameification is for what you do, please let us know at info@offshoot-studios.com
