The studio
About Highvale Studios
A small Australian studio making its first original game, and writing up what it learns.
Who we are
A small Australian studio in pre-production on its first game, Lantern Point (working title). Lantern Point is our first game.
How we work
- Blender for every asset. The models and renders on this site are our own Blender files, labelled as renders.
- AI where it genuinely helps. Concept art made with AI tools is labelled "AI-assisted concept art" every time. Our AI 3D tools guide says what each tool does and what you may do with its files.
- Small and in the open. The journal records what we try, including what does not work.
The journal
The journal answers the questions people in Australia ask about making games: design documents, core loops, engines, Blender, classification and the Digital Games Tax Offset. Facts are sourced and dated on each page. The publication uses AI-assisted drafting and source review. Platform guides describe published documentation; event schedules do not imply that the studio attended, exhibited or shipped a game.
Ideas from the community
Some journal posts break down game ideas people have posted publicly. Each one credits and links the person who posted it; the breakdown is ours.
