The Studio
Steamberry Studio is an Australia based indie production team with a love for narrative driven games. Our current focus is creating fun visual novels with creative stories, engaging characters, and beautiful artwork.
We are trying to push the envelope when it comes to the quality of content people expect from Western and Indie visual novels. In a recent survey we did, people consistently expressed lower expectations for Indie titles versus titles from larger, known companies. And while that can certainly be good for us if we're going to smash those expectations, we don't want to have to mimic Japanese games to get people to notice us or expect good things from us. We want to improve what people expect from otomes and visual novels developed outside of Japan.
Western developers are capable of writing good stories and making good games. We hope to demonstrate that with our game.
The People
Esh is a solo dev and US transplant in Australia. She has always had a love for writing and art which eventually translated into a desire to create narrative focused games. Most of her projects and ideas are in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre with a helping of romance thrown in. Combining focus on human relationships with the intricate and fun world building of SF&F is a challenge she will never turn down.
In the end, she's just a person who loves to torture characters and make dumb jokes - and she happens to be pretty good at wreaking havoc and creating epic silliness. And, hopefully, creating realistic characters with stories that pull players in.
