Game Developers

Are you looking for support to create authentic, immersive game worlds inspired by Islamic history and civilisation?

We help developers create authentic, visually stunning games inspired by the medieval Islamic past

How we help

We offer ‘Critical Friend’ insights, feedback, and recommendations on visuals, content and messaging for projects at any stage

We provide accurate, authentic information on architecture, art, archaeology, material culture, and history of Islamic societies (including geography, politics, culture, science, literature, etc.), with a focus on the medieval period (with special expertise in the caliphal period and early Islamic Spain)

We locate high-quality images of sites, monuments, and artefacts and prepare presentations and mood boards to support development

We offer guidance on specialist museum and archival collections, including risk assessment

We advise on experts who can support your project

It’s a quick cheat code to the main times, places, and rulers of Islamic history
