Sergeant Studios
Sergeant Studios is an indie game development studio founded in 2026 by SkillSergeant primarily responsible for the upcoming title Project Lockdown.
Project Lockdown
Project Lockdown is a game that you can play alone or with one or more friends. Players are locked in a facility that is set to self destruct, the subjects must navigate through the facility and solve puzzles known as modules to escape, but they will need the help of the assistants to make it out alive. Players must communicate with each other to deactivate the lockdown and escape from the facility.
The vision for Sergeant Studios began in 2023 when founder SkillSergeant started developing games on Roblox. What started as a passion for game creation quickly grew into something bigger — the foundation of an indie studio with ambitions beyond the platform.
The studio's first project was Gearshift, an adventure platformer where the player — known as the Gearshifter — had to collect gears to power a large machine that would prevent all of the worlds in the universe from being taken over by a mysterious entity. It was an ambitious undertaking that laid the groundwork for the studio's creative direction.
In mid 2024, development on Gearshift was discontinued. With lessons learned from the first project, the studio shifted focus to a new concept — Project Lockdown — which began development on Roblox as a cooperative puzzle experience set inside a self-destructing facility.
At the end of 2025, development of Project Lockdown moved from Roblox to the Godot engine, marking a major milestone for Sergeant Studios. The transition signaled the studio's commitment to building a standalone title and bringing Project Lockdown to a wider audience on Steam.
