We are Seraph 7 Studios, a Black woman and military veteran owned video game development company based in Minnesota. We are creating a genre-defying and highly stylized rhythm, action, and adventure console video game featuring The Pointer Sisters and their iconic music!
Songbirds: Fairytale (named after the song written and performed by the Pointer Sisters that made them the first Black women to win a country music Grammy award) is not just a game; it's an experience, a celebration, and a mission to elevate the history and global impact of The Pointer Sisters within the pantheon of musical legends.

We have a few internal and external goals for Songbirds: Fairytale.
1. Make an amazing, genre-shifting, and style-shifting game loved by Players and fans that causes the world to fall in love with the Pointer Sisters all over again.
2. Complete the game within 2 years of receiving funding.
3. Launch the game within 3 years of funding.
4. Partner with Epic, Sony, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and/or Nintendo to publish the game and ensure the quality and marketing reach needed for strong global game sales.
5. Solidify The Pointer Sisters as musical legends for generations to come.
6. Share the stories and music of The Pointer Sisters in a unique and powerful way that resonates across time.
7. Set the stage for an anime or cartoon series, docuseries, comic book series, video game crossovers, and more! Imagine the Pointer Sisters as playable characters in Fortnite or as anime characters in an Animatrix-style film!
8. Include new mixes of songs - including some mixes that involve other artists in the game (like Donna Summer and Irene Cara).
