Every game starts with an idea. The design team at Powderkeg are true ideas people: not afraid of out-of-the-box thinking and trying new concepts rather than sticking to cookie-cutter design principles.
Max Vasey | Design Lead
As Design Lead for Powderkeg Entertainment, Max is the brainchild behind the Blakely van de Buckle's Brass Cabaret. His attention to detail and gameplay means that the game quickly becomes a living creation that continues to evolve throughout the development process until it is perfected.

They say picture paints a thousand words. Powderkeg’s artists are responsible for the visual design throughout the projects, from concept to final product.
Ellena Linden | Texture Artist / Character Rigging, Modeling and Animating
Ellena is an outstanding artist with an eye for detail, particularly when it comes to texturing both characters and props. Not only is she amazing with the digital paintbrush but she is also a mean character rigger, taking responsibility for character animations in Blakely van de Buckle's Brass Cabaret.
