A Brief History of
Yore & Yonder
❧ ✦ ❧Yore & Yonder is the result of many evenings spent after work, toiling on the unified dream of two friends. We met almost ten years ago at the University of Skövde in Sweden where we both studied game development and programming. During the years we worked on many smaller projects together before deciding to take on the challange of an ambitious game idea: that would eventually become Northward.
Even though we had been actively working together since 2021, we officially founded Yore & Yonder in 2026. We then also co-founded the Stockholm-based game dev collective, The Dev Cabinet.
We make games that we ourselves want to play, that does not yet exist.
Our philosophy is simple: if we are genuinly excited about something, chances are we are not alone. We try to question every design choice in the context of what we are making, instead of only following how it "should" be done. We use our knowledge and expertise to create a foundation on which we can build a game that we really wish existed. Efficient pipelines and workflows enable creativity to thrive.
To us, video games are a wonderful and unique artform that is still in its early days. We are honored to be able to contribute to its story in whatever way we can.
