Company Overview:

We live in an exciting new time. All the tools to create are at our fingertips and more accessible than ever. We no longer need S-class production studios to create stunning work with our passion. The big-name studios increasingly create games that exploit the player base (

) and water down mechanics.

Clevrer is an ambitious and innovative game development company working on an exciting PvP Arena project the likes of which our world has never seen. We are passionate about merging the best elements of our favorite MMORPG mechanics with a more accessible Arena fighter.

The Project:

This will be a one-year project to create an arena game for pre-release on Steam. The project is narrowly focused on creating two complete playable character types in one environment in a 1v1 battle. Think of it as Elden Ring meets WoW Arena…
