About Elodie Games
Elodie Games was an independent video game developer and publisher founded in 2019 by David Banks and Christina Norman. Based in Venice, California, the studio developed original multiplayer games, with an emphasis on cooperative play, social interaction and cross-platform access. It publicly launched in February 2020 and focused on developing and publishing its own games rather than providing work-for-hire services.
The company's early development vision centered on reducing barriers between players across platforms, skill levels, locations and schedules. Its cross-play ambitions encompassed PC, consoles and mobile devices. Cooperative action RPG design, multiplayer systems engineering, rapid prototyping and community playtesting formed important parts of its development approach.
From Project Skies to Seekers of Skyveil
Elodie announced Project Skies in February 2023 as a crossplay cooperative action RPG. The project was also known during early pre-alpha testing as Radiant Skies. In October 2023, the studio revealed its official title, Seekers of Skyveil.
The game combined an isometric fantasy setting with team-based PvPvE extraction gameplay and fast-paced, MOBA-style hero combat. Its design brought together cooperative action RPG mechanics and the tension of extraction games, placing player teams in encounters involving both other players and environmental opponents.
The studio conducted closed alpha and beta playtests throughout 2023 and 2024. After participating in Steam Next Fest in February 2025, Seekers of Skyveil entered Steam Early Access in early March.
Closure
On March 21, 2025, Elodie announced that the game and studio would close. The team said the title had not reached the critical mass of players needed to sustain operations and that it lacked the funding required to continue development and marketing. Game services ended and the studio permanently closed on March 31, 2025. Its official website subsequently became inactive.
