Titanium Clad Studios

Titanium Clad Studios is an independent game-development studio and open-source tooling creator founded by software developer Ryan Boddy. The studio develops original games while also releasing practical utilities intended to support other developers.

Its game development work includes an in-development 2D action-metroidvania built with the Godot Engine. The project explores traversal, combat, interconnected environments, character animation, visual shaders, and progression planning for a metroidvania structure.

Games and tools

The studio's publicly described projects include:

• Witch's Brew - A top-down, wave-based survival shooter made in Godot, where players gather monster ingredients to create power-up potions.
• MVMap - A browser-based tool for mapping metroidvania rooms and progression dependency graphs.
• Easel UI - A Chrome extension for visual design quality assurance, including component comparison and onion-skinning on live web pages.
• Unannounced 2D action-metroidvania - An original game in active development for PC and console.

Development approach

Titanium Clad Studios works with the open-source Godot Engine and describes its tooling work through a Free and Open Source Software approach. The studio combines independent game production with utility development, sharing tools that emerge from its own production needs.

Ryan Boddy leads the studio's technical work, including software architecture, gameplay programming, combat systems, and shader development. Specialist creative work may be supported by independent collaborators for disciplines such as animation, environment art, and music.
