More About Us and Our Goal

At Otisco Studios, our mission statement is clear

to take bold, creative, and innovative steps that propel the gaming industry into the next generation. We’ve observed a recent stagnation in video games, and we see this as a rare opportunity to stand out and push boundaries. Our most ambitious project, a multiplayer first-person shooter, is poised to generate the long-term capital needed to sustain our operations for years to come.

In the meantime, while we work toward securing funding and completing this game, we are actively seeking opportunities within the gaming industry and adjacent sectors to expand our portfolio, acquire important industry connections, gain valuable business reputation and fuel our growth from a small indie studio to a AAA Game Studio.

What Makes Us Special

Gamers Creating Games

At Otisco Studios LLC, we are passionate gamers ourselves, driven by the love of gaming rather than profit margins or shareholders. Unlike large AAA studios, we prioritize innovation and risk-taking to push the boundaries of gaming. We believe that recent games have lacked creativity and new ideas because studios are afraid to take risks. We trust in our ability to create something fresh, unique, and engaging, knowing that focusing on making a great game will bring success to our small studio.

Innovation and Risk-Taking

We are committed to constantly pushing the boundaries of gaming by embracing innovation and taking risks that bigger studios avoid. Our goal is to create games that stand out in a crowded market, offering new and exciting experiences to players. By not being beholden to corporate constraints, we have the freedom to experiment and bring bold ideas to life.

Community Engagement

As a small indie studio, we are deeply connected to the indie gaming community. We actively listen to and incorporate feedback and innovative ideas from gamers who want to see something new in multiplayer FPS games. Unlike larger studios that often ignore community input, we value and integrate the creative contributions from our community, ensuring that our games reflect the desires and expectations of passionate gamers.

Ascendants

We believe we’re on the verge of creating a next-generation multiplayer first-person shooter. By drawing inspiration from successful titles like Call of Duty, Halo, Battlefield, Titanfall, and Crysis, we aim to craft a brand-new experience that can potentially redefine the next wave of multiplayer shooters.

Ascendants is our groundbreaking multiplayer first-person shooter set in the year 2099, Our key feature is the unique art aesthetic of Solarpunk humans vs Cyberpunk androids, with dynamic maps that evolve based on players’ actions and their impact on the environment.
Our vision is to blend advanced movement mechanics, distinctive world-building, and cutting-edge visuals to create an unforgettable multiplayer experience. Combining dynamic maps, a compelling narrative, and customizable gameplay, Ascendants will engage players in fast-paced, strategic battles that reward skill and teamwork.

We envision turning Ascendants into a full-fledged franchise, securing long-term returns for both investors and the company. 

Our Team

United by our love for gaming and a shared vision of crafting immersive and next-generation 3D experiences, we strive to deliver unique and captivating games that resonate with players worldwide.
