The studio
Splinter Scion
An independent studio building worlds of its own. One strand, many scions.
This is the whole site as one page. No movement, no script, nothing to wait for. It is what you get when the full site cannot run, or when you have asked your machine to hold still — and it carries the same words either way.
It needs a browser that can draw in three dimensions, and it moves.
Strands
The works
Every work we make begins on the same strand.
-
Frayed Scion
An online world in the making.
Built and run by the studio, in the open. Designed, made and kept by the same hands, from the first written line to the servers it runs on. We publish what exists, not what is promised.
-
The second strand
Not public yet.
A work in progress with nothing to show and nothing to say about it. When there is something real, it stands here.
-
The third strand
Not public yet.
In the dark for now. The studio names a work only once the work can be seen.
-
The fourth strand
Not public yet.
Held back on purpose. Nothing is announced here before it can be opened and used.
Work we take
Services
What the studio can be hired to do. The same hands that build our own worlds build these.
-
Website design and build
A site that is built, not assembled from parts.
Design, front end and server, done by the people who will keep it running. It loads fast, it reads on a phone, and it stays yours.
-
Three-dimensional modelling
Objects and places, modelled to be used, not just looked at.
Modelling, texturing and export, sized to the budget the thing has to live in. Every asset arrives ready for the runtime it was made for.
-
Game systems and servers
The rules underneath, and the machines that hold them.
Server-authoritative systems, written to be read by the next person. State that survives a restart, and a way to watch it while it runs.
-
Tooling and pipelines
The work behind the work, made repeatable.
Import roads, batch jobs and checks that fail loudly. What took a person a day becomes a command that finishes while you read this.
-
AI-assisted content production
Volume, with a hand on it at every step.
Models used where they are honestly good, judged by a person before anything ships. The pipeline is the product; the output is what it makes.
-
Motion and interaction design
How a thing moves is how it feels.
Timing, weight and answer-back, tuned on the real device rather than in a preview. Motion carries meaning or it comes out.
-
Brand and identity design
A mark, a voice, and rules that hold under pressure.
Wordmark, palette and the written laws that keep them honest across every surface. Made once, used everywhere, argued with rarely.
-
Live operation
Someone awake while it is running.
Deploys that roll back in one line, backups that have been restored at least once, and numbers measured on the machine that serves people.
Inside
The studio
What it is, and how it works.
-
What the studio is
Independent, small, and answerable to nobody else.
Splinter Scion designs, builds and keeps its own worlds — from the first written line to live operation. The work is made to be lived in, and made to last.
-
How it works
Pipelines before content, and nothing announced early.
We build the road first, then drive it hard. Whatever ships is measured on the device a person will actually hold, and we publish what exists rather than what is planned.
