Serenity Forge LLC is a video game development and publishing company located in Boulder, Colorado, United States. Established in 2014 by Zhenghua "Z" Yang, the firm is dedicated to crafting games that offer players thought-provoking experiences.
History
Zhenghua Yang founded Serenity Forge shortly after earning his degree from the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business in 2014. Although his academic background was in finance and economics, Yang followed his enthusiasm for gaming to create impactful interactive experiences. Prior to launching the company, he developed and released Loving Life (2012), Serenity Forge's first title—a free visual novel inspired by his personal struggle with a rare autoimmune condition that resulted in prolonged hospitalization.
In 2016, Serenity Forge broadened its scope by beginning to publish games developed by third parties in addition to its own projects. Early publishing efforts featured Stage 2 Studios' sci-fi exploration game Lifeless Planet and Ludo Land's story-driven puzzle game Four Sided Fantasy.
