We're a small team based in Hobart, Tasmania
Hello from the Myriad Games Studio team! We are a like-minded group of friends who met through some game jam events run by Tas Game Makers, and had so much fun we decided to keep working on games together in our spare time.
After working through two smaller projects as a team, we all decided to dive in and work towards creating our own studio - to learn, enjoy and release our own games!

Creative Director
Hi, I’m Alisha—a maker of digital things and someone who enjoys playing games to relax and escape. I’m the Creative Director at Myriad Games Studio, and I’m also a Digital Producer at Butterfly—an agency based in Melbourne.
My role at Myriad Games Studio is constantly varied—I find myself working on the narrative, design and art aspects of the game one week, and then I’ll be focusing on planning, documentation or marketing the next. My experience sits at the intersection between art and tech, so I love that game development is the careful fusing together of so many disciplines and perspectives.
Games are a powerful medium for connection and engagement—and I’m passionate about harnessing this to tell stories and create unique experiences.

VFX Artist
I joined Myriad Games Studio in July 2018, primarily as a visual effects artist. My role in the team has so far has me creating shaders, particle effects, 3D character and environmental models, and more on our current project Where the Snow Settles. I've also been working full time for Adelaide based game developer Mighty Kingdom as a programmer since January 2021.

Technical Animator / QA Lead
Hi! I’m the primary animator in the studio, as well as helping out with programming and driving the QA processes that we use within the team. My skills are primarily based around QA (as that’s what I do in my day job), but I really enjoy the creative side of animation.
My game development career began after attending a couple of local game jams, which eventually evolved into forming Myriad Games Studio. Learning everything from scratch is difficult, but I find it’s really rewarding to create something that brings smiles to faces.
I grew up with Nintendo games being a staple, with favourites including the Legend of Zelda, Paper Mario, and Pokemon. As I get older, I find myself enjoying more single-player or narrative experiences, like Oxenfree, Fable, Fez, and Inside.

Technical Lead
I work as a Web Developer in my full-time job, which is an interesting and challenging role. At Myriad, I'm the lead programmer and architect, so I plan, design and implement how things are going to work in the game engine and how all the bits and pieces fit together.
Outside of work I am pretty involved in field hockey, playing in the southern Premier League. I've also enjoyed taking up Olympic Weightlifting the past 6 months, so that's become a regular part of my week. I love playing video games, and reading the occasional book (obsessively, until I finish it). Games I love: Wizardry 8, Final Fantasy 6/7/8, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Diablo 2, Skyrim and Morrowind. Clearly an RPG fan.

Producer
Before getting involved with what is now Myriad Games Studio, I was working as a structural engineer for a young engineering consultancy company. While I was working (and previously while I was studying) I spent most, if not all, of my free time playing video games. The games that I enjoy playing are: AoE, DayZ, FEZ, FTL, TF2, Terraria, Minecraft, Elite Dangerous, Banjo Kazooie (the game that started it all), EVERY. DAMN. DARK SOULS. There isn’t any one genre that I prefer over another, generally I like something or I don’t, and I try not to judge a game before I have played at least a bit of it.
When I found out there was a possibility for me to be able to help make video games I was super excited! Fortunately, most of engineering comes down to project management and being able to visualize scope, which translates well into our rag tag team of artists, designers, and developers. Having worked on some small projects with our team and seeing what we can produce, I am very excited to be able to make something bigger. Outside of games and engineering, I also enjoy snowboarding, reading, movies, and old sitcoms.
