About Explorable Games:
Explorable Games is a creative studio specialising in interactive heritage experiences, historical reconstruction projects, and immersive digital storytelling. They combine game development, VR technology, 3D modelling, and digital heritage techniques to create engaging educational and historical experiences that bring the past to life in innovative ways. Alongside their digital projects, they have also expanded into offering professional 3D printing services of local buildings, allowing them to further diversify their creative and commercial offering.
Ongoing Growth:
Since launching, Explorable Games has grown significantly through the partnerships, opportunities, and industry connections available to them which they have developed across the heritage, education, and creative sectors. While they remain a focused, independent studio, the scale and ambition of their projects have expanded considerably. One of their biggest milestones has been moving into their own office space at Vulcan Works, which has provided them with the ideal environment to collaborate, innovate, and continue growing the business. Establishing their own 3D printing service has also enabled them to broaden their offering and create additional opportunities for future growth.
Why West Northants:
The team at Explorable Games feel that West Northants has provided an incredibly supportive environment for them to grow both creatively and professionally. They say that the area offers a strong business network, access to collaboration opportunities, and excellent support for start-ups and creative businesses. Being based at Vulcan Works has been especially valuable, surrounding them with like-minded businesses and creating opportunities to connect with organisations across multiple industries. The region has allowed them to develop their ideas, grow their professional network, and continue building Explorable Games within a thriving creative and entrepreneurial community.
Looking ahead:
Their future plans focus on continuing to expand their immersive heritage and interactive experience work while growing their 3D printing and product development services. They aim to build further partnerships within the heritage, tourism, education, and creative industries while continuing to explore emerging technologies such as VR, interactive storytelling, and digital reconstruction. As the business develops, the team hope to take on larger-scale projects that further showcase how gaming technology and immersive media can transform the way people engage with history and culture.
