Against all odds.

Studio Verdigris

Founded by several computer science & games students from UC Santa Cruz, Studio Verdigris is an indie game studio whose beginnings are rooted in a game jam win. We are committed to creating games and sharing novel experiences despite our setbacks and busy schedules, and hope to immerse our community with the act of creating against all odds.

Eltanin

In this physics-based puzzle game, Ursa must manipulate gravity fields and master meticulous timing to guide a newborn on a tender journey through spacetime.Eltanin is the full realization of Polaris, a game that won the Uni Jam hosted by UC Irvine in July 2025. It is created in collaboration between a subset of Studio Verdigris composed of 5 devs: Aegis, Eric, Hunter, Jade, and Sai.Play the prototype here.
