Erid Game Studios Inc.
An independent game studio.
Erid was started by a gamer who felt that somewhere along the way the big studios stopped listening to the people playing their games. We work the other way around. The player comes first, the systems are built to be learned and mastered, and nothing in the design is there to pressure anyone. Small team, long view.
Project ERID-RTS1
Work on ERID-RTS1 began in January 2023, after 22 years of playing real-time strategy. It is a genre that a lot of us still love, even as it has slipped down the priority list for most studios. This project is an attempt to keep making the kind of RTS those players have been waiting for. With modern hardware and recent progress in AI, an offline campaign can now hold its own next to online play, with opponents that adapt instead of repeating the same script.
The AI we have built learns from the player. It reviews your sessions, works out where your habits leave gaps, and puts together new strategies against them. Expect it to probe a blind spot, set a trap, and see whether you walk into it.
