IMPRNT STUDIOS

IMPRNT STUDIOS is an independent UK video game development and external art production studio founded in 2023 by Calvin Williams, Chief Executive Officer, and Jack Walker, Chief Creative Officer. The studio combines co-development support for game teams with the creation of its own original interactive properties.

Its external-art practice serves AA and AAA game productions with high-fidelity environment art, world-building, look development, hero props, modular architecture, vehicles, characters, foliage, terrain, materials and visual branding. The team also provides art direction, concept development, storyboards, colour scripts, UI and logo design, plus pitch-deck and narrative-development support.

Real-time production

The studio works with real-time 3D pipelines centred on Unreal Engine 5, including Nanite, Lumen, Blueprints and Sequencer. Its asset-production capabilities include high-to-low-poly baking, trim-sheet workflows, procedural texturing, custom shader networks, photogrammetry-informed materials and UDIM workflows. IMPRNT also develops organic environments, from vegetation and rock formations to procedural landscapes and environmental sculpture.

Original development

Alongside client work, IMPRNT is developing its debut original IP, Hounded, a third-person narrative adventure built in Unreal Engine 5. The game follows Duke, a Border Collie navigating a dystopian 18th-century “Flintlock Fantasy” setting inspired by the British Isles and the Peak District, using scent-based navigation as a central mechanic.
