Newsletter #02: Our First Game, Team Meeting & Mission in Motion
Week 2 Highlights
This week was all about envisioning what it looks like to build a game development studio from the ground up and the momentum is real.
Studio Steadfast is Taking Shape
First, thank you to everyone who’s reached out! We've been blown away by the support—old friends and new connections alike. Because of that support, we’ve officially started building a team to bring this studio to life.
Mission, Vision & Values in Progress
We're currently working on:
- Drafting our mission statement
- Outlining goals for a Christ-honoring work environment
- Mapping out the skills we need to grow through classes + resources
This part of the process has felt foundational—because if we know where we're headed, we can better run the race to get there.
👉 Take a look at our working values HERE and let us know what resonates—or what you’d tweak! We’ll be refining these in the weeks ahead.
First Team Meeting
This week we hosted the first-ever Studio Steadfast Team Meeting!
Right now, we’ve got a faithful and gifted group of friends helping us build this thing from scratch. Each person brings something unique, and watching the pieces come together has been such a joy.
We spent time:
- Connecting with others who are excited about the vision
- Laying the groundwork for collaboration
- Covering our shared goals + values as a group
In future newsletters, we’ll share more behind-the-scenes brainstorming from these meetings so you can follow the journey more closely. But for now, most of what we talk about is…
Classes We’re Diving Into
To build something excellent, we’re learning as we go. Thankfully we’ve got tons of online resources at our fingertips to help us. Here are a few classes and tools our team is exploring:
- 3D Game Development
- 3rd Person Combat & Traversal
- 3D Modeling
- Sound Design + Music Production
If you know anyone who specializes in any of these areas, and wants to help out, please reach out. Some areas we hope to do classes on in the future include social media, marketing, advertising, 2D art. Because we are new here!
Our First Game Concept
Here’s the big creative leap of the week—we’ve decided on the initial concept for our very first game.
We’re drawing inspiration from:
1 Corinthians 9:24-26
“ Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.”
This verse has been a guiding metaphor for us, and it directly inspired the theme of our game.
We’re beginning development on a game loosely based on World Chase Tag competitions.
If you haven’t seen it before—trust us—it’s wild. 🏃

It’s fast-paced, high-stakes, and skill-driven—a perfect match for our team’s talents and the kind of energy we want to bring to our first release.
