Where we build in the open—sharing our progress, decisions, and discoveries as we craft safe story worlds
We openly document how we build the studio engine behind our story worlds—sharing progress, decisions, and lessons as we go.
We're in our prototype year, building the AI-first media studio that creates safe, adaptive story worlds reliably. We share our process—the successes, the iterations, and the careful decisions that shape experiences for children and families.
"Transparency over marketing. Progress over promises."
Follow our journey as we develop the foundation for cognitive-celebrating experiences
Core principles, safety frameworks, and learning design that will guide everything we build. These posts capture the "why" behind our approach.
Real-time updates on prototypes, demos, and technical progress. See what we're working on and how our thinking evolves.
No email capture yet—we believe in earned attention through valuable content.
Big studios can afford massive teams and long timelines. Most independent studios can't. Here's why we're building an AI-first studio engine—and how it puts creators first.
Two months into Year 1, we're hitting our stride with story engine improvements, enhanced safety systems, and fresh world content.
Our first working prototype of the AI-powered story engine that generates consistent, safe narratives for Tuckaway Harbor.
A transparent look at our two-layer safety system: automated validation plus human review for all kid-facing content.
How we're creating memorable characters for our flagship world—from Captain Barnaby to the Harbor Helpers.
How we're applying cognitive science to create experiences that celebrate children's natural thinking patterns rather than remediate deficits.
The cognitive science foundations and strength-first learning design principles that guide everything we build.
We'll keep adding to this space as the work continues.
