Introducing Cipher Core Studios
Who we are, what we are building, and why we are doing it in the open.
Cipher Core Studios is an independent game studio. We make games about real places, with systems you can read and feel: a rifle that has to be worked by hand, a trench that was dug where it was dug, a position that falls if nobody holds it.
Our first game, Tabya, is a historical shooter about holding ground. Early access opens under the skies of Çanakkale; the other fronts follow.
Why in the open
Games are made of thousands of small decisions, and most of them never leave the studio. We would rather show them. This site will carry every development build’s patch notes, a devlog written by the people doing the work, and an honest picture of where each system stands.
What comes next
The next milestones are soldiers that can see, hear and decide, and the defence loop that ties a run together. When there is something complete enough to play, the first playtest sign-ups will open on this page.
Thank you for following along.
