THE STUDIO
Light is
a choice.
An independent game studio founded by Ian Tharp in Texas. Currently developing Ruins of Aloryith.
Stories that carry something.
Solarfall Studios is an independent game studio founded by Ian Tharp. We’re building worlds where struggle has consequences, and where what a person does next matters.
Our stories begin with people who can be afraid, who can fail, and who can still choose to protect, create, or rebuild. Darkness is part of their world. It does not have to decide who they become.
That is the thought behind Solarfall: the light means something because it can still be chosen.
WHAT WE’RE BUILDING
Ambition, grounded
in a game you can play.
Our current focus is Ruins of Aloryith, a third-person action roguelite set in a corrupted Sun Temple. Its combat and world are being shaped through hands-on iteration and player feedback.
We share that process as it develops: the decisions, the experiments, and the moments when something starts to feel right.
