Future/Past Creatives

What Future/Past Creatives does

Future/Past Creatives is a B2B game art outsourcing studio founded in 2017 and operating remotely from Chandigarh, India, with a team of approximately 12 employees. The studio provides specialized game art asset creation services to game development companies, with core capabilities spanning foliage and vegetation, environments, props, weapons, vehicles, structures, textures, shaders, and scene layout. The company positions itself as an Unreal Engine specialist, producing content optimized for both mobile and console platforms, and serves AAA, AA, and mobile game studios. Its competitive narrative is built on the combined decades of industry experience held by its members across multiple titles, engines, and projects.

The business operates on a professional services model with two distinct revenue streams: outsourced game art production for studios, and a paid Academy program that trains aspiring artists in Props, Buildings, Nature, Vehicles, Weapons, and Materials creation. The Academy represents a vertical extension of the studio's core competency into education, creating both a potential talent pipeline and a supplementary revenue source. Distribution is direct B2B engagement with no disclosed channel partnerships, marketplace presence, or named enterprise customers in the public record, and pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates.

Beyond client services, Future/Past Creatives is pursuing several in-house initiatives, including original game IP development intended to elevate Indian game development on a global stage, a cultural heritage preservation project using digital documentation, and community research reports aimed at the Indian games ecosystem. The company is currently recruiting interns across 3D vegetation, 3D environment, 3D prop art, and technical game development disciplines, indicating an active talent build-out. No funding rounds, institutional investors, parent companies, or external ownership have been disclosed.
