NES (OFFICIAL)

Nightshade Entertainment Studios is a video game developer built from the premise of improving upon the tried-and-true gameplay mechanics influenced by games of the past and reinvigorating them with modern design. Our company statement and goal is to create beautiful, but deadly games. What this means is that we aim to create products based on tight controls, fair balance and honing of the mechanics to create experiences that teach the player how to utilize their abilities in an effective manner that requires precision, dedication and thoughtful planning to overcome the challenges that we create for the player. Complimenting the style of games, we develop is a central narrative aimed at discussing philosophical concepts with real consequences that change with the player’s actions and dialogue options. Our brand is built on the fundamental values and principles of integrity, honesty and fairness. Striving for excellence in our craft, taking traditional techniques with modern technology means that our games are built on the concept and premise of “neo-retro”. Neo-retro is term we use to describe incorporating classic game mechanics, artistic techniques and a music composition style represented by games of the 1990s to early 2000s.
