BartCorp Studios · Games
All games. No secrets.
BartCorp Studios is the games company of BartCorp. We make video games in XANA, in person, and test every sword ourselves.
SUPER BEATDOWN 2049
Meet King Ultima, the sword-swinging ruler of the Kingdom of Xana. When wave after wave of invaders storms his kingdom, he doesn't send an army. He goes himself.
Super Beatdown 2049 is a 2D sword beat 'em up where you play the King: deflect lasers, cut through crowds of twenty at once, and lock blades with bosses in mid-air.
Think of a fighting anime with swords: fights that leave the ground, beam clashes, and bosses the size of the screen. Built for one more run.
"For years our associates asked me for one thing: swords. Today I can say yes."Jeff Bart, founder, from the top of the east waterslide

How we make games
A person makes every call.
At BartCorp Studios, AI tools do the heavy lifting and a person makes every call. In Super Beatdown 2049, AI image and video tools generate the raw art. Every sprite and background is then cleaned up, animated and assembled by hand.
