Clockwork Throne Inc.

Clockwork Throne is a small, independent game studio based in Austin Texas, comprised of various game industry veterans with specific experience in Massively Multiplayer Games (MMOs).  Leveraging a core MMO platform known as Tornado2, Clockwork Throne hopes to establish itself as a rising star in the online multiplayer space.


Shadow's Kiss founding

Shadow’s Kiss is a massively multiplayer game where players assume the role of vampires in a modern, gothic Game of Thrones.  Work on Shadow’s Kiss began as a design notebook with MMO developer Thomas Sitch, who had grown up with Interview with the Vampire, Lost Boys, and Vampire: the Masquerade.  Thomas brought together a group of indy developers, including writers and artists in film and television, to build a shared online vampire world.

With the help of writer Richard Becker, the team envisioned an original mythology and pantheon of monsters, all found in the fictional city of San Cipriano, somewhere on the coast of California.  Each player finds herself in the role of a newly created vampire trying to navigate the perilous intrigue and dangerous streets of the dark, corrupt city.

Shadow’s Kiss Kickstarter

In November of 2017, the Clockwork Throne Team ran a successful Kickstarter for Shadow’s Kiss. The project surpassed it’s in initial goal within 24 hours, and ended with 884 backers pledging $80,414, more than three times the original sum! With the market validation of the Kickstarter under their belt, the team spent 2018 building out the initial levels of the game, and vastly expanded the game systems, customization options, NPCs, and adversaries.

Shadow’s Kiss draws a lot of inspiration from player driven content from games such as Crowfall and Shadowbane, and also finds a lot of inspiration in previous ground breaking (non-WOW) games such as City of Heroes and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.
