Introducing 'Agate Studio'
Hi everyone ^ ^
It's been a while since my last post here.
I've been quite busy on starting up a company with my friends here.
*the pic above shows our company logo.. did you realize the word 'a' 'g' and 't' on thad image? :P *
Well, following the path of my mentor here,
I gathered friends with the same dream and vision and form Agate Studio.
Actually, there are 15 co-founders of this Studio (quite a lot isn’t it?). Now there are already 23 talented people in Agate Studio and we strive to do
our best here.
Nowadays, the creative industry already becomes the
most developed industry all around the world. On modern countries, this
industry even beats big industries such as oil industry; mining etc. Agate Studio tries to takes part in the creative industry, especially focused
on game development. We want to gives colors to Indonesia’s creative industry by focusing on the fun
& interactive products. And also to push even more game development in
Indonesia, so we’re not behind the others.
This game development fields was our desire from
childhood (of course, we are gamers, what about you? :D), and we are very happy
to be here and fulfilling our dream. Well, there is something interesting about ‘dream’. We always want to chase dream, but dream itself is unreachable (you won’t
called it dream if it’s between your grasp). So are we chasing impossible thing? Bad news, the answer is yes, but the good
news is, by chasing impossible thing, it forces us to do impossible things too.
Right now, there are two big titles are under
development.
1. Twilight
: Altercation
Platform:
PC (or maybe next gen console)
Twilight:
Altercation is a 3D tactical role playing game for the PC set in a rich,
futuristic galaxy of Athreltus.Command your troops, use field-altering
abilities and outmaneuver your enemies while unmasking intriguing mysteries in
this story-driven game. This game tries to simulate real world physic so
environment in this game will be very interactive. Turn the tide of battles by manipulating your
battlefield: drop boulders on enemies, cut down trees for bridges, destroy
walls for shortcuts, and even solve puzzle for prizes.
2. Ponporon!
Platform:
XBOX360
Ponporon! Is a
collection of pick-up-and-play minigames set in a colorful, absurd world
inhabited by Porons. It is designed for multi player experience, though it also
has a fully playable single player story mode. We’ve also
already show playable demo of this game at Indonesia Game Show 2008. Thank you
very much for Mr. Zeddy (MVP Xbox) to lend us his Xbox360 for about 5 days. And thanks to
everyone, we’ve got great responses of this game. There are also
some media reports for our booth: detik, kotakgame, and also some personal blog
Well, I will describe more about those two titles in
later post.
Besides these two titles, we’re also open for any creative projects,
especially
in game development or any creative product in which focused on the user’s fun
interaction and of course cutting-edge technology and great art (concept/2D/3D)
will tag along.
I think that’s for our intro here.
Since we’re new
in the industry here,
We hope you don’t mind to teach us, and support us.

Thank you very much.
