About Blackhearth Games
Blackhearth Games is an independent game studio founded by David Yurek — a solo developer with a passion for fantasy worlds.
What began as a hobby project evolved into something larger: Court Wizard, a game that he wanted to share with the world. In the future, he plans to develop additional games which may expand into other genres.
Based on the belief that great games come from genuine passion and collaboration — not massive budgets — Blackhearth Games will be a haven for fun projects and open source.

Philosophy
Passion First
Court Wizard began as a hobby — a project born from the pure joy of building something magical. That energy drives everything at Blackhearth Games. No corporate pressure, no design-by-committee. Just a developer making the games they want to play.
Open Source
Great software thrives in the open. Court Wizard will release under the GPL 3.0 license, with full source code available for anyone to study, learn from, and build upon. If this game inspires even one person to start creating, it will have been worth it.
Fantasy Forever
Blackhearth Games exists to explore the infinite possibilities of fantasy worlds. From powerful wizards and devastating spells to mythical creatures and ancient magic — every game is an invitation to step into something extraordinary. Expanding into sci-fi isn't out of the question either.
