From the Team at Indium Studios: Our Journey

Hey, this is the team at Indium Studios, and we wanted to reflect on our journey. We’ve built games, shared stories, and experimented with countless ideas, all leading to the titles you know today.

It all started back in 2010 when we created storybooks under the name TNQ, like the Sam Series, about a boy and his friends trapped inside a game. Storytelling has always been central to what we do. By 2014, we ventured into short films under the brand PopcorrnUNTDfilms (run by our CEO, Popcorrn7515, Daniel Messiar). But after 2016, we shifted our focus completely to game development.

From 2016 to 2021, we were learning the ropes, trying out different prototypes, including Labrunner, an FPS where players faced off against red enemies. Soon, we were working on a quirky game that evolved into Egg Game, our official debut.

Released during 2020’s COVID crisis, Egg Game was a weird, fun world of eggs. The single developer HiItzSam created the iconic boss Mr. Yolk, and after its release, we realized game development was where our future lay. It marked the beginning of our journey into more ambitious projects.

Here’s a timeline of what we’ve done since:

• 2021: Egg Game was a success, and we followed it up with Sam's School in Spelling and Stuff, a horror game set in a dark school.
• 2022: We released Countryballs At War, a political strategy game, followed by Egg Game 2 and Gem Run, a platformer. But Alone, our open-world survival adventure, was our biggest hit of the year.
• 2023: We launched Globetrottor, a history-based war game, followed by Red’s Party World, and then Egg Game 2: Multiplayer, which became our most-loved game of the year.
• 2024: Our two current projects are Alone 2 and People Planet, with People Planet aiming to be our most limit-breaking game yet.

Looking to the future:

• 2025: We plan to release our first racing game, Drive Legends, as well as Cookit, a character-collecting game.
• 2026: Our quirky Ultimate Duck Game will bring a top-down capture-the-egg multiplayer experience, where players become unique ducks.

Our story doesn’t just start with games. Between 2010 and 2021, we were a small team experimenting with big ideas. Our first experiments led us to the Egg Game prototype in 2019, and during the pandemic, that concept became the first game that made us realize we had found our niche.

People Planet, currently in development, is going to be the biggest project we’ve ever tackled. It’s a sandbox game where you can shape worlds with diverse biomes, creatures, and endless possibilities. Whether you’re building civilizations or summoning colossal titans, People Planet will let you take charge in a way no other game has.

After People Planet and Alone 2, we’re planning a short break to recharge before diving back into even more projects. The future holds exciting challenges, and we’re ready for them.

Thank you for being part of our journey!
