OUR STORY

Ancient Future was built by Steve, a high school teacher, with the help of his students over the course of a school year. The project was motivated by a desire to unlock young gamers' creativity, and to inspire them to work and learn together to create something great. This game is the result.

It is a new game, so the online community is still small - for now, the game is best enjoyed by grabbing a copy, inviting over a couple of friends (and their controllers) and battling it out on the same screen. It has entertained us like this for hundreds of hours (we probably play at least thirty rounds a week!), and we know you will enjoy it too. We are proud of this game and what it represents: that with determination, teamwork, and the right guidance, young game designers’ visions can really become reality.
