About Critical Forge

Critical Forge is a young studio with a old soul, looking to make games we grew up playing. We are a small independent team based out of Jakarta, Indonesia currently in production of a fantasy tactical RPG: Forged of Blood.

Production History

The first studio team was formed in February 2016 comprising of three game designers and three programmers, with the goal of creating prototype base for the game. Our resident artist joined us in March to help bring our world to life and set the visual style for the game. By the start of May, the studio has expanded to full capacity with the addition of two modelers and an animator. Upon completion of a prototype in late June 2016, the team went into full production of the game in July and are looking to complete a public presentation towards the end of 2016. The studio will plan on seeking additional funds at the start of 2017 via Kickstarter and/or Early Access to carry the production through completion in early 2018.

Projected Production Schedule:

• Pre-production: February 2016 – July 2016
• Production: July 2016 – October 2017
• Post-production: October 2017 – Early 2018
