Thousand Stars Bio: 

Thousand Stars is a Toronto-based culturally diverse immersive content creation studio that creates dangerously cute and whimsical family friendly experiences. Our goal is to innovate and push the boundaries of story-telling in digital games to craft memorable moments for our audience. To date, we have built our track record through providing our services for a diverse range of clients, and have taken charge of many art, development, and pre/post launch support ventures. From creating concept art to designing various animatic/systematic programming solutions, the team has built a solid foundation for our game development pipeline in both Unity and Unreal, specializing our talents in the VR, Location Based Entertainment, and Video Game realm. The team is currently working on their self-published production called Aikyam.
