Yellow Brick Games came from the vision of industry veterans wanting to make the process of game creation as fun and meaningful as the final result. Driven by a human and ethical approach to game development and inspired by our warrior princess Dorothée, the idea was to make each moment down the road count, brick by brick. Growing over 30 employees in its first year, Yellow Brick Games is now a collection of over 60 shiny bricks, all working on the studio’s debut title.
In the upcoming third-person action adventure Eternal Strands by Yellow Brick Games, the world is your weapon. Playing as the young but fearless protagonist Brynn, players will possess powerful magical abilities and an arsenal of magical weapons to manipulate the environment as they take on massive enemies throughout the Enclave—a mysterious lost land that was once the powerful center of magical wonders.
Based in Quebec City, Canada, Yellow Brick Games is a small studio composed of industry veterans who are combining their talent and experience to forge this ambitious yet approachable experience. At the core of their efforts is Unreal Engine 5, which the newly-formed studio selected to build the stylized physics playground of its dreams.
To learn more about the game and the team’s use of Unreal Engine 5, we caught up with Yellow Brick Games CTO Louis Tremblay, who spoke to us about their use of Lumen, Nanite, Chaos, the Gameplay Abilities System, and more.
