Iklo Studios

Header: DAMES 4 GAMES SHOWCASE Body: The women and nonbinary people on our team at Iklo Studios got together and made a really special Developer Spotlight for the Dames 4 Games Showcase! Some of our international members shot introductions from their studios around the world, talking about their experiences on Stika! Our Vancouver-based team headed into the dark woods with cameras to shoot their segments. Special thanks to Larysa for their incredible dedicated production work on this piece! Our video will be shown on March 6th in the online Games 4 Dames Spring Showcase. Check it out!

Text above of two images of a mug. The text reads: “STIKA STORE IS NOW LIVE!” The mug images show the two sides of the mug. The mug has a dark blue interior, with Stika and Iklo Studios logos on either side.

Text with multiple images of the Stika mug. The title text reads: “OFFICIAL STIKA MUGS AVAILABLE IN STORE!” Below the title text is an image of the mug, with the Stika-side showing, on a coaster on top of a table that also has plants and vases. The descriptive text on the right of this image reads: “Store link in bio! Mug has a dark (like the night) interior, with Stika and Iklo Studios logos on either side.” Below this, there is text that reads: “Shop now to get the mug that’s giving: “I stayed out all night rescuing my friends from untold horrors, what more do you want from me?””. Below that text are more images of the Stika mug in various home-like settings.

Iklo Studios store is LIVE, link in bio!

Day 2:
Apart from working on environments I have also been working on some character designs for the Stika game that's being developed by @iklostudios.bsky.social Here's a sculpt of one of them! A quick render made in blender.

#dailyart #3D #blender #wip

Playable character splash image of Yara, in front of a high-res screenshot of the foggy lake environment. The text reads: Yara Ylmaz (they/them) - Turkish Ukrainian, grew up in Austria, now living in Canada. - Strong-willed and brave to a fault. - A little rebellious, but enjoys scouting. - Constantly compared to their older brother, Sevket Ylmaz.

A Rusalka hovers behind Yara, who is unaware of her presence behind. The Stika logo fills the darkness beside them, as well as some text: FROM UKRAINIAN: STIKA (Sti-kɑː, /'Stikɑː/) noun 1. A watch or guard kept at night, especially for security. 2. The period of time the watch is kept.

A portrait image of the Rusalka snarling at the camera, her green hair and vinok (flower crown) blending into the darkness around her. Her green bioluminescent eyes pierce through the centre of the image. Above is the Stika logo in white, and in the corner is the Iklo logo, stacked and also in white.

A shot of the moon through the trees of the Stika forest. The Stika logo in white is in the bottom-right corner, set against the darkness of the under-canopy. The Iklo logo, stacked and white, is in the opposite, bottom-left corner.

Stika is a brand new stealth-horror game coming from Iklo Studios! Set at a scout camp in Ukraine in 2012, you must navigate the woods stalked by a Rusalka, save your friends, and uncover the secrets shrouded by the mists.

Prepare for your Stika! It might be your last...
