Who Makes Carnyx Studios?
Carnyx Studios is a group of individually talented people who aspire
to be part of something bigger than ourselves. We are a non-profit creative
community where everyone has the opportunity to build confidence and technical
skills by collaborating on exciting projects together. Our name, Carnyx, comes
from an unusual and striking wind instrument which was once used by the ancient
Celts. Being based in Scotland, we are inspired by our Celtic roots and believe
it's vitally important to preserve and celebrate this colourful culture!
Our team is a vibrant group of volunteers, representing a range of neurodivergences,
sexualities and disabilities. We enjoy supporting each other to develop expertise in
all aspects of game development and beyond.
