Space Ape Games 10 Year Artbook

Space Ape Games: A Decade in Print Editorial design · Production management · Interview · Asset management · Photoshoot direction

To mark their 10th anniversary as a studio, Space Ape Games commissioned a commemorative artbook — a permanent record of a decade of game-making, gifted to every one of their 110 employees.

The project ran for five months end to end, covering initial concept and scheduling, through to final print delivery. The scope was broad: coordinating interviews across internal game teams, managing a vast archive of game assets spanning the studio's full history, sourcing and directing external production partners, and overseeing all editorial design and artworking across 150–200 pages.

The book was built entirely from Space Ape's own creative output — game art, concept work, and studio history — requiring careful curation and sequencing to tell a coherent narrative across a decade of titles. Beyond the book itself, a merch shoot was conceived and art directed as part of the wider anniversary deliverables, bringing the same visual sensibility into a physical, photographic context.

The result was a high-quality, print-ready editorial piece that served both as a celebration of the studio's culture and a lasting artefact of its creative legacy — delivered on time across a complex, multi-stakeholder production process.
