A collaboration

Collaboration

Partners work here as a named branch of the house, not a side file.


Two studios

Separate houses, one continuity.

Chainbreaker: The Umbral Ascent is an extension of the house. Hydrogen-Overdrive makes the game; Woven Prism Productions is the collaborator on the film and video side — trailers, cinematics and cut material. Two studios, each with its own name and its own work.

The Lost Draconian

Film house

Woven Prism Productions

Independent film. Held shots. Real weather. The house behind The Lost Draconian. Toronto, Ontario — Jackson, Mississippi.

Chainbreaker: The Umbral Ascent

Game company

Hydrogen-Overdrive

The maker of Chainbreaker: The Umbral Ascent — the game, the climb, and the wider ascent.

One continuity bible covers the story and the game. The Hellforge, the chains, and the climb stay consistent across both houses.


The collaboration

Chainbreaker: The Umbral Ascent

The game and the film work around it, made together and credited apart.
