Where Vision
Defies Convention

Quake Studios is an independent Black-owned creative powerhouse headquartered in Chicago. We build story-first mobile games with original IP — no clones, no shortcuts — and produce films and series that challenge the boundaries of independent media.

Right now: we're expanding the Project Fly universe and producing Quicksilver, a multi-director sci‑fi / sci‑fi horror anthology targeting Tubi.

From pioneering original mobile game IP celebrated across Chicago's independent developer scene, to a multimedia vision spanning digital education, animation, and software innovation — Quake Studios isn't catching up to the industry. We're redefining it.
