Breaching the Rift is released!

That’s right, after years of working on it and countless setbacks including the Pandemic and having  dedicated Breaching the Rift domain hacked, it is finally released into the wild. It feels like its been a long time coming, but now it’s actually here and you can download it on the store.

What is Breaching the Rift?

Breaching the Rift is a 1:56 scale (28mm) table top skirmish wargame where teams vie against each other to achieve their set goals. It is based in a science fiction universe of the same name that has been in development in one form or another since 1996 with the first short story written as a part of a college project by creator John “Howrith” Bryan. From there it continued to grow with races, worlds, stories and universe changing events that sets the stage for the current conflicts and adventures.

You get to play one of the four factions (at the time of writing this only two factions are available to play in V1-230624) in the current version of the game. Though not all the miniatures in our range are currently included in the rule set they will become available to play as the rules are updated and expanded upon.

 

So, what are you waiting for. Go and download the free rules, today. Join us as we expand upon the rich universe and take the steps towards Breaching the Rift.

10 Years plus of Gydran Studio

On April 9th of this year (2023) Gydran Studio turned 10 years old. Unfortunately there were a lot of things happening at the time and we missed celebrating it. However, we have decided to make a bigger thing of it next year with our 10 years (+1) anniversary.

We will be releasing our first limited edition miniature that will be available free to our patrons over on Patreon as a part of the celebration. However, don’t dismay if you don’t follow us on Patreon as you will be able to purchase a copy from the webstore, but only during the April 2024 period. After this the miniature will no longer be available. What will the miniature be? Well, that’s going to be a surprise; though if you are one of our Patrons you will be able to see the process of bringing it to life from design to the finished model. Another great reason to follow us on Patreon.

As well as the limited edition miniature there will be giveaways/competitions and discounts to be had all throughout the month of April. The last 10 years have been a crazy ride from the companies inception to now with a lot of crazy and sad things going on. We hope you join us and look forward to celebrating 10 years and many many more in the future.

Sustainability and Gydran

Sustainability and conscientious production practices are one of the key things at the forefront of our mind, here at Gydran. With the move towards more sustainable living we should be thinking about moving our hobbies and in the same direction. This includes our miniatures and their production methods. That’s why we are investigating and trying to develop more sustainable ways of production. We want to reduce our waste within the company and make sure that what we produce, whether it be miniatures, animations, or art, can be recycled at the end of its life. We are currently talking with other companies to start making the move to a more environmentally conscientious business. We will  update you all in a news post once we have more information on the direction we end up going in, and the future impacts for Gydran Studio.
