Elysian Productions Inc. was founded to develop the massively multiplayer game called Ages of Athiria.  Prior to June 2010, we had been actively raising money for this project and the concept has been around in one form or another for many more years than that.  Since June 2010, we've decided to take the company into other directions after it became clear that Ages of Athiria could not be funded by VC in Louisville.  As such, we're exploring new directions and new business opportunities that have been put before us.

Our team has experience with a wide array of technologies.  C#, SQL Server, DB2, Oracle, VB.Net, ASP.Net, 3D Studio Max, Animation and graphics design are just a few of the areas that we can help your company achieve its goals.
