Braveshell Studio

Braveshell Studio is an independent Canadian game developer and interactive digital-experience studio. It combines original game development with custom client work across extended reality, augmented reality, virtual reality, immersive video and interactive installations.

The studio develops proprietary IP while using fee-for-service projects to support its creative work. Its remote-first production model is led by three Alberta-based owner-operators and supported by a recurring network of freelance specialists in programming, art and sound.

Games and interactive work

Braveshell’s flagship project is Storm Sphere, a turn-based detective-combat role-playing game set in the fantasy skyworld of Azura. The game follows dual protagonists Bart and Aldonza through a setting of airships and alchemical mysteries. It was selected for the inaugural Calgary Games Kiln cohort, an IP acceleration programme for local game creators, and has been shown at Game Con Canada and Indie Rodeo while progressing through Steam playtests.

Alongside its original games, the studio creates custom interactive experiences for commercial and educational contexts. Its work includes AR, VR simulations, 360-degree video, UX/UI consultation, gamified training and multimedia installations. A recent example is the Nutrients 4 Revolution / Nutrients for Life Arcade installation for Nutrien, which used augmented reality and live body mapping to teach nutrient-application concepts at the Calgary Stampede.
