A Publishing Home Inside the Studio
Northern Development is not only a game-development studio. Publishing is one of the core parts of the company, giving us another way to build worlds and tell stories beyond interactive experiences.
The publishing catalog currently begins with two novels that reflect the studio's interest in communities, emergency response, dramatic events, survival, justice, and resilience.
Embers of Shasta Lake
Embers of Shasta Lake follows a Northern California community facing a catastrophic wildfire. Firefighters, emergency crews, and families are pushed into impossible situations as they fight to survive, protect one another, and hold onto hope while the fire closes in.
No Road Left: Pursuit to Astoria
No Road Left: Pursuit to Astoria continues the story with a high-stakes pursuit that pushes north toward Astoria, Oregon. The novel shifts from wildfire survival into a story of pursuit, justice, family, and determination.
The Future of Northern Development Publishing
Future publishing projects can live alongside the studio's games while maintaining their own identity. New novels, editions, announcements, and retailer information will be shared through the Studio Journal and Books section.
