In the heart of Turkey, where East meets West, Permanent Way stands as a living testament to the power of storytelling—a place where nearly 80 passionate creators, both men and women, bring ancient legends and dreams to life through digital art. Founded in 2021, Permanent Way began as an ambitious idea to share the soul of Eastern folklore with the world. Today, that dream breathes in every pixel, every line of code, and every frame of animation we produce.
Our team is more than a workforce; it's a family united by a shared vision. Together, we transcend borders and cultures, weaving diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and traditions into our work. Each project we undertake is a testament to our dedication and resilience, inspired by the beauty of our heritage and a drive to innovate. Here, creativity and diversity flourish side by side, empowered by state-of-the-art tools like Unreal Engine 5, Houdini, and artificial intelligence. This is where technical mastery meets the heart of our culture.
