Newsletter #05: Behind our Game: Meet the Team
Meet the Team: Skylar, Mitch & Clay
We’ve been getting lots of questions about who’s behind the scenes helping build Studio Steadfast—so this week, we’re kicking off a little mini-series: Meet the Team! We’ll be highlighting some of the awesome people pouring their time, talents, and hearts into our mission.
First up: Skylar
Skylar is a lifelong friend of Daniel’s and has been instrumental in shaping our visual direction. He’s been the artist behind many of the initial concept sketches you’ve already seen.

When asked why he wanted to be involved with Studio Steadfast, Skylar said:
“Besides being a good friend of Daniel’s, we could always use more games that portray tough topics respectfully—instead of just relying on vulgarity and violence.”
While we’re incredibly thankful for all of Skylar’s contributions so far, we’re also cheering him on as he heads to Japan soon to share the Gospel through Team Expansion. If you'd like to learn more about his mission or support him along the way, you can do that here.
Next, Meet Mitch
Mitch is helping lead programming for the User Interface of our first game, and brings incredible knowledge across a range of technical areas.

“Hello, Studio Steadfast community! My name is Mitch, and I’m thrilled to be a part of the team at Steadfast Studios as a game developer, where my values as a Christian perfectly align with my passion for video games.
I’ve always been captivated by the creativity and energy of gaming, and I knew I wanted to be part of this journey as soon as I heard about Daniel’s vision.
I’m excited to contribute to a company grounded in Romans 12—a commitment to love, honor, and serve others and God through our work. I can’t wait to help bring meaningful, inspiring experiences to life!”
Fun fact: Mitch and Daniel played basketball together in high school! He’s also husband to Kiersten and proud dad to nearly one-year-old Gracelyn. We’re so lucky to have him on board.
And finally: Clay
Clay connected with Daniel through mutual friends—and we’re truly grateful he did. He’s been working on UI design for the game and has already made a big impact on what’s working best visually and functionally.

“Hi, my name is Clay Dennison and I have a calling to bring people together with Christ. I am excited to fish for people! (Matthew 4:19)
I’m a game developer who wants to bring light and clarity, to speak boldly with truth and wisdom, and to support and protect people.”
We’re so thankful to have Clay’s creativity and heart on our team. It genuinely feels like a God-ordained connection.
We hope this gave you a better picture of some of the amazing people helping build this dream from the ground up. Stay tuned—next week we’ll introduce a few more faces bringing their gifts and grit to the mission.
Until next time,
The Studio Steadfast Team
