Our Story

From fintech to fantasy

We're Erwin, Federico and Nicholas, the team behind Chronicle. This is the story of the people building it, the experience we bring, and the challenge we've chosen.

01 Co-founders

Erwin & Federico

We founded Aternum Software after years of professional software development, working on business and fintech systems. Games have long been part of our lives. Chronicle grew from the desire to put that passion into practice.

Our software experience gives us a foundation. Building a game brings its own craft, and we're taking the time to learn it.

The three of us share the journey behind Chronicle, from its earliest ideas to the work taking shape today.

03 The ambition

We could have started smaller. We know.

We chose a persistent survival sandbox MMORPG because we're drawn to the idea of a shared world where people can build a life, find their own direction and change the places they inhabit.

It's an ambitious undertaking. We want to show how that idea develops through decisions, experiments and the work of making it real.

04 The work

The work behind the world

We begin with the vision, work through the design and test what we build. As development progresses, we'll distinguish the ideas we're exploring, the design we've settled on and the results we can actually show.

AI tools assist our work. We set the direction, review the results and take responsibility for what we produce.

We're sharing the journey as we make decisions, explaining what we've chosen and why. As the community grows, there will be more conversations to have and more perspectives to learn from.
