CINDERHAWKGAMES

The studio

About

One founder. One city. Strategy games with a story worth fighting for.

Who we are

Cinderhawk Games Inc. is an independent studio in Toronto, Canada, founded in 2026 by a solo developer. It is a one-person studio for now, working with freelance collaborators as the game grows.

What we make

Story-driven strategy games. Base building, armies and heroes who fight on the front line, set in worlds that are dark, vivid and a little rough around the edges. Our first game is EXIOS, a sci-fi hero RTS.

What we stand for

I

Story first

Every mission is a chapter, and every chapter should matter.

II

Hero and army

One hero to turn the tide. A whole army at their back.

III

Made by humans

Paid human artists for voices and art. Honest about the tools we use.

How we use AI

Straight answer, because you deserve one:

  • Code: EXIOS is programmed with AI assistance. We will say so on the Steam page.
  • Voices, art and audio: the voices, portraits, sound and music in today's builds are temporary placeholders so we can build and test the game.
  • Before release: those placeholders will be replaced by work from paid human voice actors, artists and musicians, or properly licensed human-made assets.

If you are one of those people, we want to hear from you.
