ABOUT STUDIO CIMA
Studio Cima is an Italian independent game studio, based in Milan, It
Studio Cima is an Italian independent game studio, based in Milan, Italy. The studio was born in 2019.
We met in 2019 and we started building our studio soon after, armed with the ideas behind The Perfect Pencil.
In the last three years of development we grew stronger as a team, we learned how to perfect our pipeline and we advanced our skills in every aspect of game development. We have no doubts that we can deliver a very polished game.
The Perfect Pencil marks the first time we work together as a studio, but we all come from years of experience working in animation, development, game design, etc.
We embarked together in the undertaking of exploring the complexity of the human condition through the medium of video game.
We think that the potential of the medium and the reach of its interactive communication can allow us to create an intimate and carefully crafted experience, that we hope will open players to a different perspective.
We love what we are doing and we can’t wait to show it to the world.
