Games should reward time, strategy, and dedication—not just spending.
Independent game studio
We build worlds
worth hunting.
Shadow Talon Studios™ is a new independent studio creating dark fantasy games with memorable creatures, meaningful progression, and battles that bring players together.
™The studio
Small team.
Bold worlds.
We are building the kind of games we have always wanted to play.
Shadow Talon Studios™ is an independent game studio founded by Thomas Mcdaniel and Joseph Gamble. We are starting with a shared love of dragons, dark fantasy, card games, and progression systems that give players a reason to keep growing their collection.
Dragon Hunter: Bloodlines™ is our first title—and the foundation for something bigger. Our goal is to grow thoughtfully, learn from our players, and continue creating games with a distinct identity.
Built with care
Every system, creature, and screen should feel like part of the same world.
Always evolving
We listen, learn, and improve as our games and community grow.
