Indie Game Pc Games Action Game Role Playing Game Early Access Pc GamesChristchurch-based indie game studio, Black Salt Games, has announced the formation of a second studio, Disc 2 Games. Both studios are now working on new, original titles. Black Salt Games, known for the award-winning game DREDGE, has completed content development for the game and its final expansion, The Iron Rig. The team is now in pre-production for a new game, which will stay true to their focus on atmosphere, intrigue, and unique mechanics in a new world.
Disc 2 Games, co-founded by Black Salt Games CEO Nadia Thorne and longtime collaborators Kris Nicholson and Johannes Otte, operates independently but shares the same roof in Christchurch. Thorne is the Producer, and Michael Bastiaens is contributing to Disc 2’s debut game. Disc 2 Games has been working on its first game for over a year, which fuses ideas that the team believes work well together. The game presents a bright and stylish facade, but beneath the surface lies a gritty world, inviting players to immerse themselves and join the characters in rebellion. More news on Disc 2 Games' debut title will be announced in the coming months.
