About Flight School Studio
Flight School Studio is an interactive and immersive storytelling studio creating original video games, virtual and mixed-reality experiences, physical entertainment environments, and hemispheric dome films. Its work combines narrative development, visual design, real-time software engineering, and physical fabrication to build experiences across console, PC, mobile, immersive hardware, and public venues.
Established in April 2017, the studio brought together Reel FX Creative Studios’ virtual and augmented-reality division and former creative leaders from Moonbot Studios. Based in Dallas, with a game-development satellite in Montreal, it develops original intellectual property alongside commissioned experiences and commercial activations. This structure supports projects ranging from independently published entertainment to installations made with brands, media producers, and cultural organizations.
Games and interactive storytelling
The studio’s original games include Island Time VR, a room-scale survival comedy; Creature in the Well, which combines pinball mechanics with dungeon exploration; and Stonefly, an action-adventure game built around piloting a small mech. Its broader portfolio includes mobile experiences and Chex Quest HD, a modern reboot created for General Mills.
Narrative immersive projects include Manifest 99, a virtual-reality journey that uses character gaze as a means of movement, and MLK: Now Is The Time, produced with Time Studios. These projects reflect an approach in which interaction and audience participation help shape how a story is experienced.
Experiences beyond the screen
Flight School also develops location-based entertainment and installations that combine digital environments with physical space. Its work includes Dan Carlin’s War Remains, an immersive World War I simulation; St. Jude Hall of Heroes, built around patient stories; and Department of Wonder, a physical mixed-reality entertainment venue.
Its production capabilities span concept development, worldbuilding, game engineering, animation, environment design, hardware integration, and experiential fabrication. More recent work extends into full-dome presentation through Resolution: A Symphonic Experience For The Soul, created with The Polyphonic Spree, and interactive sports activations such as the AMEX fan experience at the U.S. Open.
More about Flight School Studio
Launch leadership
The April 2017 launch team included Brandon Oldenburg as Chief Creative Officer, Limbert Fabian as Executive Creative Director, and former Moonbot CEO Lampton Enochs as Executive Vice President, under Reel FX co-founder and CEO Kyle Clark. These are historical launch roles; the research does not establish a current leadership roster.
Production approach
The studio uses Unity and Unreal Engine for real-time interactive production. Its separate operating structure was designed to support original intellectual property and commercial activations while drawing on Reel FX’s infrastructure and production pipeline.
Recognition
- Manifest 99 received a Daytime Emmy nomination.
- MLK: Now Is The Time was also nominated for a Daytime Emmy.
- Resolution: A Symphonic Experience For The Soul won the 2025 SXSW XR Experience Spotlight Audience Award. These distinctions belong to the named projects.
Production collaborations
War Remains brought together Flight School, Dan Carlin, MWM Interactive and Skywalker Sound. MWM Interactive also published Creature in the Well and Stonefly, whose Montreal development was spearheaded by creative directors Bohdon Sayre and Adam Volker. The studio partnered with the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation on the 2020 VR animated short Lutaw.
