Templar Studios
- A Brief Overview.
The Company - Templar was formed in 1998 as an
association of artists, writers and programmers in New
York City and London. The collective's mission was to
establish an environment where each individual could freely
pursue his or her creative goals, while providing outstanding
design, content and technical development for its client-based
work. The studio has gone on to produce a wide array of
interactive projects, many of which have been featured
in books, magazines and museums such as the Whitney and
the American Museum of the Moving Image. After years of
creating successful games for its clients, Templar is
currently developing its own line of PC-based video games.
Game Design - Templar has produced several acclaimed
web-based video games, winning both design and programming
awards for its work with MINDSTORMS™, the robotic
toy division of LEGO®. STORMRUNNER has been recognized
as one of the largest Java games ever made for the web.
Both ROBOHUNTER 1 and 2 were developed using the latest
Shockwave™ 3D technology. These games allow kids
to play with realistic, virtual robots - on the web. Our
work on CongoTrek for National Geographic has brought
visitors closer to the world of the Congo, through the
creation of an interactive 3D jungle. Templar is the lead
design and production team for the BIONICLE™ story
site, an ongoing animated series exploring the mystery
of LEGO's exciting new line of action figures. The award
winning Bionicle.com
site is packed with games and puzzles, with more coming
each month. Templar's various projects with LEGO have
spanned over three years and we are very proud to be the
lead web-game producer for LEGO.com - the third most trafficked
children's website in the world.
Web Design - Focusing on compelling content, interface
design, careful navigation, planning and technology trends,
Templar's award-winning site design offers visitors an
enticing and informative experience. We utilize the latest
in browser technology, including Flash animation, to showcase
products while streamlining sites wherever possible to
increase usability and retention.
Technology - Templar is also a skilled technology
consultancy, specializing in custom application development,
front-end and back-end video game production, database
development and website automation. Games and sites developed
by Templar employ Java, Shockwave, Flash, C and C++, JavaScript
and a host of other scripting languages and back-end technologies.

studio, Templar offers its clients all aspects of content
development including graphic design, 3D and conventional
illustration, digital and traditional animation, typography,

Strategic positioning for product and brand building are
also part of our unique abilities.

has led us to work with such amazing companies as: The

BMG/RCA Records, Viewpoint/AOL and Comic Relief (UK).
Our longstanding association with the Intel® Developer
Alliance and the Macromedia® 3D Development Partnership
