Glodia

Closed in 1995

Founded by programmer Osamu Ikegame in 1990, Glodia was a small studio making Japanese PC RPG and strategy games until its closure around 1995. He started the company after developing successful titles for the publisher Basho House, such as Testament and Emerald Dragon. Together with developers like writer Atsushi Ii, musician Nobuhito Koise, and coder Hiroyuki Kuwata, Ikegame & Glodia made notable series and one-offs, ex. Zavas (II), Die Bahnwelt, and the Vain Dream and Bible Master duologies. Ikegame left the company in the middle of its lifespan, and their final release Ragnarokkr preceded Kuwata & company leaving to work elsewhere in the industry.
