Art Corner

Our artists have spent a lot of time creating new assets, characters, and animations that make the world of Ianua feel so much more alive! Here's a few new screenshots and character portraits you might come across soon...

Social Space

Our first in-person game conference was a massive success! Three of our team members (plus a few family members along for the ride) had the incredible opportunity to showcase Aegis Force in the Innovation Zone at GCC. Connecting with fellow fans of pixel art turn-based RPGs was an absolute highlight. The excitement from everyone who visited our booth was inspiring, and we’re already incorporating your feedback and creative ideas into the next phase of development!

Oh and we ate a lot of amazing Canadian food :)

What's Coming

Get ready for a brand new demo and game trailer for Aegis Force: The Scorian War, arriving between July and August. Your feedback from the February 2025 demo and all the feedback from our beta testers and conference attendees helped shape this next phase, and we think you’re going to love what’s in store. From new teammates and fierce new enemies to an all-new playable zone steeped in mysterious lore—it’s time to dive even deeper into the world of Ianua.
