Our Projects

Art Filled Myth and Adventure

Set in an alternative now, Cyclopes From the Ether tells the tale of the mythic Cyclopes and humanity’s quest to reconnect with their ancient legacy. Season 1 begins with the Terran organization known as CSSI and its centuries-old mission to find the lost race of enigmatic one-eyed giants. Along the way, prophecies are unveiled, aliens are encountered, and shadowy underworlds unfold. It all foretells the awakening of long-dormant ancient powers, as an intrepid CSSI task force charts a new destiny for humankind.
‍
We've been developing Cyclopes From the Ether and its spin-offs since 2020. Future collabs with established names in film, television, gaming, graphic novels and publishing are already in motion, all focused on bringing our stories to the widest possible audience.

Our Vision

The Story is the Thing

Blind Harpy is updating the storytelling craft for modern media and technology. From tried and tested forms like video games, board games, and comics to new media delivery channels like NFTs — we aim to be at the cutting edge. Blockchain has opened the door to incredible new avenues for funding and distributing creative works. At Blind Harpy Studios we’ve embraced it without losing sight of our core values. We’re channel-agnostic and always let the needs of the story choose the medium.

Solid Ground, Creative Heights

As a creator-owned studio, Blind Harpy has the freedom to shape its own content and determine its own future. Independence is the fuel that makes us flourish, combined with the loyal support of our growing creative community.

The world is entering a new era of Web3 entertainment and Blind Harpy aims to be at the cutting edge. Our ambition is to embolden like-minded creatives and expand our operations to become the world’s leading Web3 entertainment publisher.

Blockchain is essential to this new world of decentralized entertainment. It means nothing gets in the way of fans and the media they love. As we work with fellow creators to get their brilliant stories into the hands of their future fans, Blind Harpy will continue to publish more original and thrilling media content — from Cyclopes and beyond.
