Imaginary is a small team of creative people who have a range of creative and technical skills. We undertake the following type of work and are happy to talk to potential clients and collaborators about any of these activities.
-
Game Development
We work mainly on our own titles, but also work in partnership with other creative companies with different media specialisms. We believe we offer a unique approach to computer game creation and hope to see the titles we originate played and enjoyed by a much wider and more diverse audience than is currently reached.
-
3D Art and Animation
We are specialists in CGI without the normally exorbitant project costs. We produce material for television, video, online distribution and games. Film projects are undertaken with facility partners where appropriate.
-
Script and Story Development
In the beginning there was the word, as someone once said. We write them - both for our own projects and for other people's. Imaginary has developed scripts, screenplays, treatments, proposals, stories, spoken word and written copy for film, television, games, web, print, theatre, exhibition and advertising.
-
Software Technology
We have developed our own feature rich 3D game engine, ACE, which seamlessly applies advanced cinematographic techniques to the game environment and allows for complex interactive narrative structures to be built and played. We also have expertise in a range of other 3rd party development software and middleware, from rapid prototyping tools to full game development environments.
-
Creative Consultancy
We have advised and developed projects and initiatives of all sizes for a broad range of companies, organisations and public institutions. We specialise on creative, but we have also helped with research, strategy, funding and production.
-
Education Development
We are active in the academic sector and have worked on curriculum development for a number of universities and other learning institutions, as well as policy development for skills councils and government departments. We have an ongoing relationship with the Digital Games Design Unit at the Surrey Institute for Art and Design, and are also involved with various other institutions locally, nationally and internationally.
