About Studio Virtys

Two studios, Fatecraft and Virtys, have decided to join forces to create a role-playing game of outstanding quality. Both studios are independent and self-financed producers.

The unified team, Studio Virtys inc., creators of The Therian Saga, is composed of five passionate members who have invested more than five years in the creation of their first release. They combine both artistic and technical expertise in the video game industry.

What's Therian Saga?

As passionate fans of games of all types, finally launching our very own studio fills us with a sense of pride. With Fatecraft and Virtys, our freedom to create and communicate is boundless, which allows us to create different games that meet the expectations of developers and gamers, rather than those imposed by an overly rigid structure.

Our decisions are based on the following principles:

We believe there is an audience of mature gamers looking for an elaborate gaming experience. We value persevering gamers looking for a stimulating intellectual challenge.

We believe that gamers are prepared to make a long-term commitment in a game of outstanding quality with a rich and open environment. Each person is responsible for choosing and fulfilling his or her own destiny.

We believe it is possible to build a financial model that is both ethical and respectful of gamers. We strive to build a long-term relationship based on trust with our community.

Our History

The story of Fatecraft: The Therian Saga actually began in 2008, but it is the result of 20 years of experience organizing role-playing game activities and 15 years working in the field of amateur video games. In the early 2000s, the Virtys team led one of the largest French-speaking role-playing game communities on a private server. With this experience, the team subsequently developed several projects that never fully came to fruition.

In 2008, the team saw an opportunity in the emerging online gaming phenomenon to leave the world of amateur gaming to enter the universe of independent developers. In 2011, a group of long-time friends joined Virtys and founded the Fatecraft studio. At the same time, two members of the original studio took the first steps towards working on the project on a full-time basis.

Since the project’s inception, its creators put in time and money, receiving no compensation, in the hope of one day seeing Fatecraft: The Therian Saga come to life.
