Former BioWare, Inflexion Games, and Timbre Games developers launch Studio Reset

Studio Reset adds a new independent studio to Alberta’s game development sector, founded by experienced developers Kaelin Lavallée, Kris Schoneberg and Francis Lacuna. Their previous credits include major Canadian-developed games such as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Anthem and The Long Dark, bringing established industry experience into a smaller studio focused on creating original intellectual property. The studio’s debut project is a neon-noir supernatural mystery game built around its “Parallax Deduction” approach to narrative and investigation. The project is in early development with support from the Canada Media Fund, providing federal funding for a new Alberta-developed original game. Studio Reset’s formation also illustrates a pathway for experienced developers from larger studios such as BioWare and Inflexion Games to establish independent teams and retain game-development expertise within Alberta’s industry.
