Dyak Studios: 5 Facts About Us

Hello! After long last we're finally ready to start showing the big wide world what we're about. But first, we'd like to introduce ourselves so here are 5 facts about Dyak Studios:

​1. We're A Student-Run Studio
Yes, we're being led by the next generation of game devs! Our founder, Lauren, is currently studying Computer Game Enterprise and is starting her placement year. This placement is unconventional though, as she'll be running Dyak instead of spending a year completing an internship with a company.

2. We're Big On Diversity
Lauren decided to start Dyak due to the diversity issues within the games industry. She believes that more diverse studios will create more diverse games, and she hopes to show the advantages of having a diverse team.

3. We Hope To Inspire The Next Generation
​We're not entirely sure how we're going to do this yet. Here at Dyak we believe that the next generation is key to increasing diversity within the industry. By introducing game development at a younger age, we think that creatives from under represented groups will be inspired into creating their own interactive experiences.

4. Our Name Is A Tribute To The Dayak People Of Malaysia
Lauren wanted to honour her heritage within this company and has always been proud of having ancestors from the rainforest of Borneo. What better way to honour her family than naming a studio after them?

5. We're Already Working On Our First Game
Yes! We already have an early working prototype of our first game, how exciting! We'll be making the official announcement soon but we're very excited to show it to you all.

We hope you now feel as if you know us, and are looking forward to this journey as much as we are. To stay updated with us and our development, make sure to follow our socials!
