Description
Hexy Studio is an independent game design studio, founded in 2015 in Warsaw, Poland. In the beginning, we were focused on promoting board games created by other companies through trailer video production, and we have now participated in more than 50 crowdfunding campaigns. Hexy Studio has also been releasing their own board game titles, including Hard City, Slyville, Uluk and the Star Scrappers Universe series, all warmly welcomed by players worldwide. Following the board game industry success, we have decided to extend our activities to the area of video games.
History
When we started working on Brassheart our goal was to tell a story that was broad in its scope, but at the same time intrinsically personal. This is how Pola became our protagonist; a person who, in her quest against an immeasurable power of Valkiria, is motivated by the close relationship with friends and family.
But for this dynamic to work, we’ve also had to put her in an interesting and living world. The global turmoil and technological revolution of the early 20th century fit perfectly and allowed us to create an alternative reality of fantastical inventions and colorful characters.
Our hope was also to inspire imagination and creative-problem solving through the use of cartoonish, colorful art-style reminiscent of the classics in the point-and-click genre, while keeping our puzzles grounded in commonsensical logic.
We believe that by following these principles throughout the development, we’ve created an adventure experience that will be appreciated by both enthusiasts of the genre and newcomers.
