⭐ The journey so far ⭐

It all started with a shared love for turn-based strategy games. A group of passionate gamers gathered in the vibrant city of Bangalore, India, with a singular mission: to create a game that would redefine the genre.

Our journey began in January 2020, just a few months before the world changed in ways we could never have imagined. As we started our journey, we found ourselves navigating not only the intricacies of developing a passion project but also the challenges of a global pandemic.

In those early days, the team consisted of Neeraj Kumar, Aubhik Nath, Ekta Neeraj Verma, and Vishal Mohan. Together, we set out to create something truly unique.

But it wasn't all smooth sailing. We faced our fair share of obstacles. Our studio specialized in design and technology, but we lacked in-house artists. Undeterred, we rolled up our sleeves, conducted extensive research, and sought help from our friends. The result? A game that exceeded our own expectations, filled with stunning visuals.

What makes Artifice: War Tactics special, you ask? It's all about reactive combat. We wanted to give players a fresh perspective on turn-based strategy, where every move counts and every decision has consequences.

Our inspirations were clear - XCOM, Into the Breach, and Darkest Dungeon. These legendary titles guided us on our journey and helped shape Artifice into what it is today.

But game development isn't just about code and pixels; it's also about the moments that make you laugh, the challenges that make you grow, and the friendships that make it all worthwhile.

Through this rollercoaster ride, we learned valuable lessons. We understood the importance of leveraging our team's strengths, beginning marketing early, and setting achievable milestones.

Today, as we stand on the cusp of a new adventure, we want you to know that Silvine Game Studios is more than just a game development studio. We're a group of dreamers, creators, and gamers, fueled by our passion for crafting unforgettable experiences.

Our ultimate goal? To bring the best gaming experience to you, the players, and to inspire you to pursue your own passions. Artifice: War Tactics is just the beginning of our story.

So, what's next, you ask? We're gearing up to launch Artifice on Early Access in the coming months. Brace yourselves for a journey filled with updates, new features, and epic battles. But that's not all. Beyond Early Access, we have plans to bring Artifice to consoles and are already brainstorming ideas for our next exciting project.
