Beast House
The studio
One pair of hands
Beast House is the studio behind Beltane. It is one person.

Beast House is a 3D artist with more than twenty years of professional work behind them, building the game they always wanted to play.
Every model, texture and creature in Beltane is made by hand. There is no generated art in the game and none on this site. What you see in the screenshots is what you will see when you play.
Why Beltane
Beltane is the old Celtic fire festival at the start of summer, when fires were lit on the hills and the boundary to the Otherworld ran thin. The game takes that idea literally: the fire you carry is what lets you go farther than the last person did.
How it is made
The game has been in development for about four years in Unreal Engine 5. The world is built from real volume, not blocks, so it can be dug, carved and built into in any shape. That choice made everything harder and everything better.
What comes next
An alpha on Steam first, then the full release. If you want to follow along, or help shape it, the Discord is where it happens.
