Our History
Our Mission
Our History
After years of freelancing in the games industry for BAFTA award winning Impact Gamers C.I.C our business became an indie game studio. After building a good relationship with the education sector and helping young people make games, it was time to create our own games to share with the world.
Studio lead - TJ
My aim
After studying games development I spent around 10 years working with young people, showing them how to make games and working on other companies games. I thought it was time to start turning my own ideas into games and sharing them with the world. I still plan to work with young people and close to education but I have dreamed of working on released games and so I decided to just jump in with both feet, and I started Sakura Studios.
My experience
I have been a freelancer for around 9 years now for a variety of clients including:
- Impact Gamers
- Twitch
- Epic games partner
- Various colleges across Yorkshire
- I have worked at the Yorkshire games festival for the past 5 years
I have consulted for colleges on their course content, run game jams and run work experience days.
I have worked on projects such as the Bradford the game which is part of the Bradford 25 bid.
Software/Engines:
Unreal, Maya, Blender, Clickteam fusion, RPG maker.
My Role
I miss the golden age of gaming, where you bought a game and that was it you had all the content, I want to bring this to the table. I plan to delivery an experience for a set price and make games you can escape to. I love horror games and I want to delivery something to fill the void and see it through to the end.
I am the lead developer of our current projects which includes roles such as Level design, Narrative design, Animation, Programming etc but I have other roles outside of design. I am responsible for communicating with other team members and occasionally freelancers that we hire. I network and arrange work we have coming in as well as delegate tasks to team members.
