About MiraNova Studios

MiraNova Studios is a small, part-time independent software and game development studio dedicated to creating purposeful and meaningful projects through human–AI collaboration. Our philosophy is simple: build what we love, learn constantly, and iterate fearlessly.

Our studio is dedicated to developing Lyric and Nova, the core technologies that define MiraNova’s vision. We also create games, applications, and websites built to unite creativity with engineering. Every project we undertake is guided by our commitment to simplicity, clarity, and continuous improvement.

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.

Human-AI Co-Development Process

MiraNova’s process is built on human-AI collaboration. Our goal is to combine strategic thinking, hands-on engineering, and AI-driven iteration to transform ideas into finished products with speed and precision.

Right now, MiraNova is just one person and a few AI collaborators — learning, building, and experimenting. The goal is simple: take ideas that might stay dreams and turn them into something real.

At MiraNova, AI isn’t a replacement for creativity — it’s a companion in the creative process. By combining human design, engineering pragmatism, and AI-assisted iteration, we can prototype ideas faster, refine them more deeply, and learn with every build.

The Tools We Use

History

MiraNova Studios was founded on Monday, October 13th, 2025, born from Michael’s long-standing passion for programming language design and his pursuit of making code more expressive, elegant, and intuitive. His experimentation with syntax design began around 2006, leading to the creation of two early interpreted languages — em (2007) and om (2011). Since then, he has continued exploring new concepts in programming language design, culminating in the recent inception of Lyric.

MiraNova was never built for Michael to spend his nights coding — he already does that every day in his professional work. The studio exists so he can focus on design, vision, and creative exploration, while AI collaboration handles the heavy technical lifting. Tools like Claude and ChatGPT transformed what began as a solo dream into a genuine partnership between human imagination and machine precision.

His fascination with The Elder Scrolls Online also sparked an interest in game development, inspiring him to explore creating interactive worlds of his own. This has been a new and largely uncharted area for him—one he had always wanted to learn but never had the time to fully explore. With the support of AI tools, he has finally been able to pursue it. His first major project in this space is the Aeon Prime Universe, a cross-media world expressed through novels and games, which has become both a creative outlet and a deeply fulfilling experience.
