Our mission

To create Games and crossmedia content that evoke emotion, inspire action, and build community through storytelling, collaboration, and innovative work practices

MakeShift Interactive was born from a passion to keep the creative soul of game development alive. After years of working in the video game industry, we envisioned a studio that thrives on collaboration, fostering partnerships with developers while enabling cross-media expansion of the worlds we build. Our mission is to create immersive narratives that extend beyond games, into books, podcasts, and films—all while supporting fellow creatives in completing their projects.

Founded by a seasoned games producer and advised by industry veterans, MakeShift is more than a studioit’s a community where creativity, support, and innovation come together to shape meaningful experiences.
