About

The Studio

O’Saurus Studios is a small Melbourne-based indie games studio.

Our founder, Maddy, grew increasingly frustrated that there weren’t more games for players like her, so she decided to make one.

For our games, we love focusing on unconventional narratives, environmental storytelling in unique settings, and exploring the psychology of multidimensional characters. For our studio, we value the unique perspectives and talents that diversity brings.

Golden Valley Development Team

Maddy Clute

Founder, Creative Director, Writer, Programmer

Before starting O’Saurus Studios, Maddy was a software engineer and manager for Google, where she worked on Google Maps and data centres. Always having had a strong passion for art and storytelling, she decided to try her hand at game development and hasn’t looked back. The idea for Call of the Golden Valley wandered into her head while she was taking a career-break working as a ski instructor in the mountains of Victoria.

When Yee isn’t working as an animator on one of her many other games projects, she’s over with us using her 3D artistic talents to bring our small town setting to life. With two award winning short films already under her belt, we look forward to seeing our story brought visually alive.
