[Team Introduction]
- OrtusGames is a game development company founded in January 2024, currently developing the game "Winter of the Arbyen".
- The name “Ortus” means 'rising' or 'emerge', reflecting our vision of bringing creative ideas to realize through game content.
[Team Founding : From Indie Gamers to Game Developers]
- Team was founded by two gamers who spent their childhood immersed in a wide range of games, including during the early indie days of Minecraft.
- Over the years, they honed their development skills through various short-term projects and strengthened their teamwork. In 2023, the project began in earnest, and with the addition of a dedicated illustrator, the visual and overall quality of the game has significantly improved.
[Our Philosophy : As More Joy, For More Fun]
- At OrtusGames, our mission is to build a more joyful world through more enjoyable experiences.
- We aim to share the joy we first felt as players, and later as developers, with others through the games we create.
[Goals for 2025]
- Our top goal for 2025 is to advance the development of "Winter of the Arbyen" to a level of polish and completeness that will allow us to prepare for its release.
- Along the way, we will go where the gamers are, and find partner companies to join us in that journey.
