Original Game Development

Creating original game titles from concept to completion is Valkyrie’s true strength. Publishers with an eye for fresh new concepts will serve themselves well by inquiring about the studio’s designs in the works. Striving to keep ahead of the demand for innovative gaming experiences, Valkyrie Studios maintains the philosophy that emerging markets, popular genres, and trends are created by offering consumers original, high quality, creative, yet accessible products.

Whether the entertainment platform is PC, console, arcade, or platform independent, the goal is to insure immersion. Story-based adventures should move the player emotionally. Action based games should elicit unconscious physical reactions like ducking to evade incoming threats, and balance anticipation with action for an all-out satisfying adrenaline rush. Strategic elements should reward the player for original thinking, providing several ways to accomplish tasks, each with their own strengths and drawbacks.

License Game Development

Looking for a development team to design and create interactive products based on license properties? Valkyrie has proven their exceptional ability to maintain the integrity of a license in the development of interactive media. PC Gamer Magazine was quoted as saying, with regard to their Beavis & Butt-head title, "Unlike most adaptations of movie or television licenses, there's real gameplay here - Virtual Stupidity would work even without MTV's juvenile delinquents - but it's also very faithful to the series, capturing its unique look at humor flawlessly." The team’s successful history of producing products for companies such as Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, MTV, and Paramount Pictures is a true testament to the quality and dedication put into any product they are involved with.

Modeling and Animation Services

Content creation for 3D real-time game engines, full motion video sequences, or pre-rendered sprite based media is also available. Game development houses which need to outsource some of their production needs will find Valkyrie Studios, Inc. an excellent resource for high quality work done to specification. Call for availability, rates, or to solicit a bid.

Additional Production Resources

To serve those needs that cannot be easily handled in-house, Valkyrie Studios has established close working relationships with several outside vendors.

Audio – On Septerra Core, our audio needs were more than satisfied by the fine team of Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori of TotalAudio. Marty and Mike are award winning Composers and Sound Designers, who's previous credits include Myth , Myth II and Riven - sequel to Myst. In addition to their talents as sound designers, they offer a complete, state-of-the-art recording facility, making production of high quality audio tracks for our titles readily available. Total Audio is only one of several such facilities easily accessible to us.

Talent - Chicago is well established as a city with an abundance of excellent voice and on-camera talent. We have connections to all the best talent and casting agents in town, making it easy for us to find top-flight actors whenever needed.

Video and Film Services, Motion Capture, etc. - Because of the large number of advertising agencies here, and the growing use of the city as a location base for movie production, Chicago also offers a large selection of production and post-production facilities, any of which are available for our use. We have established ties with two of the best in town, Avenue Edit, and Post Effects.
