LVL 01 · THE STUDIO

I MAKE FILMS, GAMES & MUSIC FOR EVERYONE.

This is the creative studio of Yaan Batho. I make films and series — like Orion's Barrel, a sitcom set in a space bar — build browser games, and produce music.

Explore the apps and games in the Foundry, or listen to my electronic music as Kainer and Il Diablo. Most projects are ready to try here on the site.

BATHO-01 — Resident Astronaut

Keeps the lifts oiled and the cogs turning. Usually found pacing the studio floor or the rafters; rides the lift between shifts, grapples when he's in a hurry, and will absolutely tell you about pies if you click him. You can pick him up and drop him — he packed a parachute.
