About Stormy Nights Interactive
Stormy Nights Interactive is an independent game and software development studio founded in 2015 and based in Dallas, Texas. Its work combines original interactive entertainment with custom applications and software engineering. Across its games, the studio pairs expressive characters with action mechanics and educational themes; its software work includes mobile reference tools, backend services and client systems.
Games and interactive storytelling
The studio’s flagship project, Breeze in the Clouds, is a hand-drawn 2D action-adventure brawler in development for PC. Players control Breeze, a corgi swept into the weather world of Tropolis, where weather-based elemental transformations support combo-driven combat against pollution. The project brings together character animation, responsive combat and environmental themes.
Its debut educational game, Calcusaurus, was released in 2015. Also referenced as Calcasaurus, the mobile title uses a laser-wielding dinosaur and action mechanics to make arithmetic practice active and repeatable. It illustrates the studio’s interest in integrating learning into play.
Stormy Nights also contributed lead programming and technical collaboration to Setsuzoku Studio’s Sweet Leaves. Released in 2021 for PC, Mac and Android, the cinematic visual novel follows Red Ellsworth’s recovery and relationships in northern Minnesota. This collaboration extends the studio’s engineering work into narrative games alongside its own original projects.
Software and client development
Beyond entertainment, Stormy Nights develops bespoke web, mobile and desktop applications. Its services cover gameplay and systems design, mechanics prototyping, backend architecture, API integration and the expansion of early prototypes into fuller products.
A notable application is Georgia DUI Caselaw, released in 2022 for iOS and Android. Developed with Ashley Schiavone, it provides a digital reference to Georgia driving-under-the-influence jurisprudence for attorneys and law students. Together, the studio’s game and application projects reflect a practice spanning character-led entertainment, educational software and specialized professional tools.
