The Team + history

Shelby Lynn Black

CEO, Founder, Lead Designer, Etc…

Shelby Lynn Black is currently running the studio solo and writing her own profile in third person. It’s weird.

Shelby Lynn Black has worked in the film and television industry as an art department DGC member and set designer since 2014. She has worked on designing worlds for award winning series such as The Handmaid’s Tale and The Umbrella Academy. She loves bringing that same passionate world building mixed with a love of systems building to game making.

During the 2023 Writer’s and actor’s strike she had waaaayyy too much time on her hands and began to learn Unreal Engine… and became hooked. She then began to have way too many game ideas.

It was game over. She pivoted SL Black Studios into a game studio.
