80ON Studio Heart To Heart
I have been writing the world of Artica for twenty five years. It started long before I ever thought about making a game or building a studio. I used to write pieces of this story on the backs of my school assignments in middle school, getting in trouble because I was supposed to be paying attention. But I couldn’t help it. Artica was already alive in my head, and I kept creating it even when I wasn’t supposed to.
I even wrote a book once, and it was horrible, but it taught me something important. It taught me that this world mattered to me enough to keep trying. Artica has lived in my head and my heart for decades, and now I am finally bringing it to life through this game.
This is my first studio. This is my first real attempt to share Artica with the world. I am learning as I go, building as I go, and doing everything I can to make this universe something you can explore, enjoy, and connect with. I hope you enjoy what you see here. I hope you feel the passion behind it. I hope you see the potential in what Artica can become.
I wish I could make all of this without AI. I wish I had the money to hire every artist, every writer, every designer I need. But right now, the support you give this game helps me move toward an AI free version in the future. It's a free game but every purchase, every download, every bit of support goes directly into building a studio that can create more books, more games, and more stories from the world of Artica without relying on AI tools.
This is just the beginning. Artica has thousands of years of history, dozens of Orders, hundreds of characters, and endless stories waiting to be told.
Thank you for being here at the start. Thank you for giving this world a chance. I hope you enjoy everything that comes next.
