Our Story
At Audrelia Studios, creating stories, playing games, and making art are central to our lives. We were inspired by the great makers before us like Hidetaka Miyazaki, Matt Mercer, and Hiromu Arakawa just to name a few, and dreamed of making and sharing great art like they did. However, like most who make art know, there is no neat trail to follow nor promises of success, the love for your craft has to be enough to move you through the mountains of “I don’t know what I’m doing” and “I should quit”. We make our path as we walk it. But, you reading this now, are helping us push forward. You who joined the mailing list, who financially supported us, who engaged in playtests, you all are lighting the way for our band of independent artists to succeed. It is an incredible privilege to have your support, and it is our deep hope that one day there will be people who read our book, The Yestermoor, and become inspired like we were.
Co-creators Audrey and Amelia
Hiiii, I’m Audrey!
I started the Yestermoor and work on everything from art to game design to graphic design. I like to cook, I have a dubious shadow wizard living in my house (cat), and I play competitive pokemon in my free time. I’m also working on becoming very muscular.
Part of my desire to create The Yestermoor is to find a path to create games and art that doesn’t put it’s makers at the whims of corporate greed. While working as a professional concept artist, I was part of a huge layoff from a AAA game studio. While that was awful, what was also difficult was working while knowing that tomorrow I and whatever I was working on might get thrown away. That fear was shared across the team and chewed at our creativity, stability, and morale. I believe there is better way to make games and by working on this I hope to make that real.
Heya, I’m Amelia
I joined The Yestermoor project and I work on the writing, game-design, and business side. I convert Audreys’s great ideas into writing and game mechanics while sprinkling in a few things of my own. When I’m not doing this, I write for fun, and am an avid LARPer
Creating The Yestermoor started as a job and became a passion, through it Audrey and I are able to follow our creative impulses to construct something beautiful and weird. Throughout this project, we’ve been able to do something we rarely get to do, make something we are truly inspired by.
