Our Mission

Quartz Era Studios is a small, indie development studio founded by Noah Layne in 2020. 


Our main goal is to create experiences that invoke creativity and imagination through gaming as an art form. By using strong story-telling, creative art, and heart-felt music, we hope to create the memories that many of us had growing up with our favorite games.


Living in a time full of "rock-solid gameplay," we hope to create stories that will stick with you for years to come.

His best memories were playing various Nintendo games with his cousin, Knox on the weekends and being immersed in worlds that dispense creativity. He hopes to bring that same inspiration to others just as it did for him. As he likes to say, "Keep Gaming!"
