Founder’s Note


Occulan Studios is a production studio dedicated to building an original, self-owned fictional universe that spans across games, animation, publishing, and beyond. The focus is long-form storytelling; carefully constructed - with deep lore, strong visual identity, and stories designed to evolve within over time. Timelines, cultures, characters, and mythologies are built to support multiple formats and multi-generational storytelling. What we’re building is meant to be explored, questioned, and returned to. Not just one story, but many, woven together.

This IP is crafted for longevity — it’s modular, immersive, and designed to grow. Occulan Studios exists to create fictional worlds that feel real, and stories that carry weight. This is just the beginning.

Yours Truly, J.L. Lockwood

Founder / Director, Occulan Studios


What is the Aeturnus Continuum?


The Aeturnus Continuum is the expansive fictional universe at the heart of Occulan Studios. Spanning from the mythic Age of Ancients to a far-reaching, interstellar Age of Conflict. It’s a persistent, evolving world designed to support a wide array of stories across time, genre, and medium.Inspired by the depth of Tolkien’s Middle-earth and the reach of Lucas’s galaxy far, far away,

Aeturnus is built to be both vast in scope and distinct in identity. Every era, from the primal lands of Artriu to the fractured futures of Govvg and Torvin, is crafted with meticulous lore, cultural nuance, and narrative purpose.

It’s an ongoing creation; and as development continues, more of the Continuum will emerge here on our site, in our games, through publishing, and beyond.
