Take time today to celebrate your freedom, and remember and thank those who have fought for it. "For the tree of liberty must be fertilized from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Use the freedoms you have been given to change the world, to shower those in need with compassion, and most importantly to thank The God who has blessed us far more times than anyone can count.

Happy Fourth,
The Skybox Team

So, Ciel wanted us to remind all of you gorgeous Facebookers that she is, in fact, still around. She may not be in the Floating City for the beta (it is very difficult to get a horse up there after all), BUT! She's still here and as adorable as ever.

Ms. Ciel,

Our sincerest apologies for neglecting you.

Love,
The Skybox Team

Ready to learn?

Part of bringing the video game industry back home to Indiana involves helping students (at any level) learn the trade in the most enexpensive and streamlined way as possible. That's why we are building The Skybrary. The vision is to have this be a learning platform that will guide you through all of the relevent learning resources (videos, research papers, books, etc) necessary to become a proficient game developer. Whether you want to be a level designer, character artist, testing engineer, environment programmer, writer, marketer, project director, or something else, we want to help you gain the skills you need.

Our presentation at Launch Terre Haute on why games are important, and how we plan on bringing them to Indiana!

One of the things that we are involved in is making learning/training resources for film and video game development easily accessible. This means compiling all of the relevant information in one place, for as little a cost as possible, in an intuitive way for people of all ages to understand. And our first push to really bring that vision to a reality is the Skybrary. As an integration into our website (which is currently in development), the Skybrary will act as a sort of online school for aspiring artists, game designers, programmers, leaders and entrepreneurs to access for free. The vision is to have it link to all of the relevant videos, articles, books, courses, papers, etc (as well as our own, free, content) that teach about the different skills needed to have a career in games and film!

Hey Facebook!

So, as many of you know, we are Skybox Studios, a small independent video game and film studio located in Terre Haute Indiana! We hold a strong passion for purposeful-storytelling, innovation and education. We aim to tell stories that are not only engaging and entertaining but also beneficial to the players and audiences that experience them. We also aim to make learning tools and resources, for our industry, easy and cheap to access (similar to the way Khan Academy does) by creating YouTube videos, teaching weekly dev classes on livestreams, and building free web platforms for aspiring artists, programmers, designers, leaders and entrepreneurs to learn! And with your support we will be able to gain the momentum we need to turn these visions into a reality!

with humility and great thanks,
Skybox Team
