Temple Door Games Logo - Reverse Color

Founded in 2019, Temple Door Games is a duo indie dev team based in Los Angeles, CA. While working on God of War at Sony Santa Monica Studio, Mike Henriet and Don Thurakichprempri bonded over a mutual love of animation, video games, and burritos. With Temple Door Games, they strive to create fun and challenging gameplay complete with quirky jokes, satisfyingly juicy melee hits, and a few tugs to your heartstrings.

Meet the Swordsmiths

Mike, a smiling Caucasian man wearing aviator sunglasses, a light blue The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild t-shirt, tan pants, and a ball cap, holds a silver sword with a bronze hilt in front of him.

MIKE HENRIET

Despite being near the ocean, Mike Henriet is one of the most threateningly pale men to have ever lived in the sunshine state. He arrived on the gaming scene as a heavy-hitter, landing a job animating on God of War after graduating from CSU, Long Beach. When not eating Tito’s Tacos, he’s thinking about Tito’s Tacos. When he’s not doing that, he can be found accruing salt while playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online. As a game dev, Mike is inspired by classic video games like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario 64, and the Dark Souls series. He frequently gains the “invigorated” status by listening to Dire Dire Docks on repeat. 

Favorite games: Dark Souls 1 / The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Super Smash Bros. Melee / Shadow of the Colossus

DON THURAKICHPREMPRI

Don Thurakichprempri grew up believing he was destined to be a Hollywood stuntman. After one failed backflip in high school, he decided to become an animator instead. His career began in television working on animated shows like Axe Cop for FOX ADHD. He then went on to become a Cinematic Animator on AAA games including Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and most recently, God of War. In his spare time, he competes in Street Fighter tournaments and unleashes puns on the general population. A trained animator and graphic designer, as a game dev he is “flying by the seat of his pants, but doing so stylishly.”

MUSIC BY ADAM BOW

Hailing from the mythical land of New Zealand, Adam Bow passed up the chance to join the Fellowship of the Ring for a much nobler cause — pursuing the life of a bard. Inspired by the music of Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Adam puts his skills to use making magical, musical creations. He joins the Swordcery band of misfits as the game’s official composer, crafting tracks that grant a point of inspiration to all those who listen. If you’ve ever wondered why New Zealanders are called Kiwis, make no mistake! Though the internet might have you believe it’s because of some silly bird, it’s actually because Adam’s tunes (like the Kiwi fruit) are sweet as!
