Cypronia

Cypronia 30th Anniversary is the official commemorative publication documenting three decades of independent game development connected to the Slovak studios Ablaze Entertainment, Cypron Studios, and Cypronia. Written by Stefan Pavelka—one of the founders of all three companies and the only founder who was part of each studio throughout their entire history—the book provides a detailed and authoritative account of their development, challenges, and achievements.

The publication includes a complete chronological list of all games developed by Ablaze Entertainment, Cypron Studios, and Cypronia, making it the most comprehensive record of the studios’ production history. Among the featured titles is the real-time strategy game State of War, presented with in-depth background on its development, release, and reception.

As the main official source publication of Cypronia, the book is frequently referred to by the company as its definitive historical record. In addition to production details, it contains personal stories, reflections, and behind-the-scenes insights from Stefan Pavelka, offering readers a first-hand perspective on founding and sustaining independent game studios in Slovakia across changing technological and market conditions.

Cypronia 30th Anniversary serves as both an official studio history and a valuable primary source for researchers, fans, and historians of video games interested in the evolution of Central European game development.
