The studio
SharpWing Studio
SharpWing Studio is an independent game company. We make side-scrolling action with readable combat and a pulpy streak — games about grabbing a gun and finishing the job.
The studio exists to ship Centroid: a 2013 Xbox Live Indie Games platformer-shooter, plus the college sequel that never left a hard drive, rebuilt as one game for Steam.
Owned story. Owned tech. A small team that still plays the build.
Why Centroid, again
Centroid shipped on Xbox Live Indie Games with more spirit than process — no version control, folder copies instead of a repo, and a full campaign anyway. Centroid 2 started in college and stalled as the tools outran the design.
Thirteen years of backups later, both chapters are being finished as a single campaign. The fantasy is the same: find a gun and chunk some grubs. The sequel return is the second act, not a second store page.
