Why chase trends when you can set them?

Founded on the principle that not every game needs to be rehash of the current best seller, Impetus Studios makes "artisanal" games that aim to progress and innovate in their chosen genres. We put quality, detail, and user experience above all.

About

Impetus Studios is a small and increasingly ancient project started by a couple of friends in younger days. Like most projects started by teenagers, it was of mixed success, and produced a few prototypes that ultimately never saw the light of saw the light of day, but which did result in absolute mountains of design documents and kanban boards.

While our priorities and goals shifted over the years, we never completely abandoned our desire to make very particularly types of games and software, and thus Impetus Studios has clung to life and crawled it's way out of the soil like a consumption ridden victorian that got buried alive, because, as it turns out, it's really helpful when at least one of your founding members becomes a professional software engineer.

Now that our collective skill sets have finally caught up to our plans, we've restarted working on one of our core concepts, the "Mixed Media RPG" with the current working title of ERIS, which should be ready closed alpha testing sometime in 2025, assuming the world is still livable and there is working electricity.
