Description
Zephyr Workshop is a game development company based in Renton, Washington founded by entrepreneurs who create strategy tabletop and digital games around genres we love. We work hard to bring you the best experiences, in fully realized and unique worlds and themes. We break the mold of “traditional” game genres by creating affordable, deeply strategic games, with fully realized worlds and characters after our favorite themes and hobbies.
History
History:Back in the year 2013, some friends were creating strategy games out of pure passion. We realized, there was a severe lack of deeply strategic, affordable, games in genres that we loved. This wrong needed to be righted and so Zephyr Workshop was born. The team started as 3, and quickly grew as design and development of our flagship title AEGIS ramped up. As the team grew, so did the game, and we realized we had to get it in the hands of fans. In 2014 we started a massive attending conventions spree and never stopped. Fans loved the game and wanted more, so we self published between 2014 and 2015. We signed on with a publisher soon afterwards, and our knowledge of the tabletop industry continued to grow. As of 2017 we're back to self publishing; AEGIS will be shipped August 2018. Our work continues on our next few projects, more information will be available soon!
Present Day:Our passion never stopped burning for A.E.G.I.S and in 2017 we ran a very successful Kickstarter, funding AEGIS manufacturing. Look for the game in stores in August 2018.
