ABOUT US

Brilliant Skies was founded in Glasgow, Scotland by Nicholas Smart in 2013. He wanted to make a game that played on the popularity of Minecraft where players would use voxel blocks to construct ships to fight sea monsters cooperatively..... That didn't exactly go to plan! The community got involved, loved the game and steered it in a wildly different direction. Now From the Depths is the most complex builder game on the market allowing for all kinds of ways to customise and create the vehicles of your dreams. You can then take these vehicles into a strategic campaign or endless adventure mode.



In 2022 From the Depths won the "Best Technical Achievement" award at the first ever Scottish Game Awards.
The team has went from being a solo project to one involving many different people from all backgrounds and many nationalities. Many of the staff/contractors were originally modders in our first game, From the Depths! Everyone works remotely, we have no office.
We strive to make games that are different and unique. Sometimes taking risks that larger companies simply can't make in order to create a truly unique experience for the player.
To involve our community as much as possible during development to make them feel like they are a part of the process in making a game they want to play and feel invested in.
To create something we want to enjoy ourselves! There's no point making something you wouldn't want to play yourself and we feel that very strongly as we create our games.
