Lightstorm Game Studio - A new direction for 2017

by Will Zettler · 11/20/2016 (6:03 am) · 1 comments

We are reorganizing since we shut down My Ambient World over this weekend. We are planning bigger and better things and restructuring the company to now reflect our new direction we are heading.

We work on bounce house rentals here in Elwood, Indiana during the spring, summer and fall and also work on our Dark Nightmares Haunted House during the October season. During the rest of the year we run our Dark Nightmares scream shop which we build props for haunted attractions as well as cool display FX for digital shows.

We are moving towards making Halloween based games, VR content and new advances in haunted house props, shows and more. We here at Lightstorm Game Studios are working to hire and work with some of the industries best talent, from programmers to graphic artists. We can not wait to show you what we are about to do with the new Lightstorm Game Studio!

We are currently working on a 2D side scroller for release down the road. It will be a Halloween theme and dark. We are making it kid friendly too. Also, our older, in the works game, Afterlife, has been put on hold until we figure out where we can go with it. We would like to make it into a Xbox Live game down the road as well as for PCs.

We are going small as of now. We want to work within our own realistic budget and create some amazing content like our coming VR 3D apps and haunted house attraction info apps for Android phones and tablets. We plan on moving slowly, so don't expect monthly releases as it is right now, only two people in the group making games and content for everything we are planning. We hope to hire some added talent in the coming months.

We hope you will stick around and watch us grow. We think you might like what you see. Oh and btw, content packs for audio and other digital content, including trees, textures and models will begin to roll our on our new site at www.darknightmares.com and you will find our stuff on the Scream Shop side of the page. It is still a work in progress but it is up for now!

Thanks for reading everyone! Please stop on by our Facebook page and see what we are up to! www.facebook.com/Lightstorm-Game-Studio-236909276500210/

Awesome to hear!

A VR haunted house could be really interesting to see, so I'd say go for it.

Also, we're largely jamming at the new forums: forums.torque3d.org, so by all means, hop over there and drop updates on your stuff. :)
