A note
from the founder

Hello everyone, my name is William Hulshof. I am the founder of Silvermine Studios here in Cork, Ireland. Silvermine Studios is a small, indie studio, with which I want to realise my video game ambitions.

The journey so far has certainly been a challenging one, but one I by no means regret. Since September 2020, the journey to create Silvermine Studios and our first game: Chaos Riders, has brought me in contact with:

  • New Frontiers Phase 1 & 2, who provided me with the experience I needed to start Silvermine Studios. 
  • Ardán, who put me in front of publisher scouts, brought me to Gamescom and provided me with countless networking opportunities.
  • My Local Enterprise Office, who provided me with the Priming Grant and business support needed to bring on the incredible team I have.
  • And lastly my friends and family, who have always supported me since day one. 

I can’t possibly show them all enough thanks here, but I will always be grateful to them for their support, and everything they have provided me with over the years.

No one can go on this kind of journey alone, so if you are someone reading this who wants to learn more about my journey, or are keen to start their own game development studio but don’t know where to start, please reach out, as I would love to give back and help out however I can.

Thank you,

William Hulshof
