About Us

The Empire of Australia Company is a multimedia experience collective that seeks to create games, stories, and experiences that immerse the participant in the world of the Empire Universe.

We are writers, visual artists, theatre practitioners, historians, and coders who thrive at the edges. We love to experiment. We love to ask 'what if'?

We believe traditional capitalism is broken, but that doesn't mean we throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Instead, The Empire Pledge requires that we give at least 10% of our revenue or 50% of our profit (whichever is greater) away to support five key areas:

  • Preserving nature, supporting wildlife, and mitigating climate change
  • Rights, culture, and economic development for indigenous cultures of the Americas
  • Rights, culture, and economic development for indigenous cultures of Oceania
  • Rights, culture, and economic development for the decendants of enslaved Americans
  • Worldwide women’s rights & economic parity
