Description

Lightbound Studios is a game development studio with a simple goal - to create high quality games for kids and those who are kids at heart.

History

The studio was founded in August 2014 by Artak Avakyan, a long-time video game developer who was responsible for many memorable cinematic moments in the God of War franchise. Artak worked on number of acclaimed AAA titles such as Medal Of Honor: European Assault, True Crime: New York City, God of War 2, 3, and Ascension. In June 2014 Artak left his position as Lead Cinematic Animator at Santa Monica Studio to open his own indie studio, Lightbound Studios and create his first solo mobile game project titled Star Chasers.

After so many years of developing games for mature audiences, Artak was determined to make a game that his 8 year old son could play and enjoy. So he left his job and dedicated all his time to developing Star Chasers. After more than a year of development, Star Chasers is available to download from Apple App Store and Google Play.

The players will sprint through the city rooftops, perform amazing acrobatics, battle through obstacles, and take down enemies while rescuing as many stars as they can.
