About MiraNova Studios
MiraNova Studios is a small, part-time, independent creative workshop dedicated to exploring software, artificial intelligence, music, writing, and game development through human–AI collaboration. We build what inspires us, learn continuously, and share the results of our experiments with others.
We believe meaningful work doesn't require a large team or a large budget—just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to experiment.
Our current projects include the Novi Terminal Environment, Astra Bug Tracker, and a growing collection of AI-assisted creative works, with many more ideas waiting in the workshop.
Our Core Values
Simplicity
We believe the best experiences come from understanding, not complexity. Our work emphasizes logical design, intuitive interfaces, and systems that feel natural to use and understand.
Clarity
We believe ideas should be implemented clearly. In our designs and documentation, we aim to remove confusion and make purpose evident.
Iteration
We evolve through continuous improvement — build, test, refine, repeat. Each version is an opportunity to learn and grow, making our next project even better.
Humor
We take our work seriously, but never ourselves. Every project should leave us smiling as much as it teaches us something new.

History
MiraNova Studios was founded on October 13, 2025, originally conceived as a game studio inspired by Michael’s desire to learn video game develop, but then evolved into a broader home for all of his creative and technical projects. While his background includes long-standing experimentation with programming language design—dating back to the mid-2000s and culminating in the Lyric language—the studio itself exists to enable focused design, vision, and exploration rather than nightly grind. MiraNova embraces human–AI collaboration as a core principle, allowing Michael to pursue ambitious ideas across games, languages, tools, and experiments by pairing human creativity with machine execution.
