An independent sci-fi imprint built one shift, one chapter, and one frame at a time.
Terran Studio was founded by Paden Hodges in Lubbock, Texas in 2026 as the imprint for everything connected to the Conflict Space universe — books, an animated series, and original music. Every project that ships under the Terran Studio name is built by the founder on a single workstation, with AI-augmented pipelines that turn a one-person operation into a small studio’s output.
Paden Hodges is a writer and director based in Lubbock, Texas. The studio is funded by TDCJ prison shifts, plasma donations, 3 AM Uber routes, and the long hours that come with refusing to wait for permission. Conflict Space: Swarm of the Hive is his debut novel and the source text for the animated series in production.
Every story Terran Studio ships is built by someone with a day job, working nights and weekends, refusing to compromise on the world inside the work. That’s the studio promise. That’s the only one we make.
