Censtudios (short for Centrix Entertainment Studios) is a team of people, located all over the world, that are interested in creating machinima (films created within existent 3D environments such as games).

Though our main priority is making videos, we also host a social networking website called OutsparkClub where gamers can create and customize their own gamer-profile page, upload pictures, write blogs and much more. Next to OutsparkClub, we also host a browserbased game called Darkness of Evolution.


How it all began

The first idea for Censtudios was made on october 14th 2006, after Centrix created one of his GunZ Online machinima. The first Censtudios website was formed in january 2007 using the free phpBB forum software. After receiving numerous donations we earned enough money to expand the website and our services. We began using a vBulletin forum and hosted several games (which unfortunately didn't last that long).

Since then, Censtudios was also a small community of people that liked to "chat" about all sorts of subjects on the forums. There were numerous server-movements and problems with the site/forums in the past that caused the website to be offline quite often. Those issues have been resolved and we currently have two reliable servers.

Censtudios has grown a lot, especially in the last few months. We also want to thank the fans that donated and supported our work.


Growth

Censtudios has grown a lot since late 2007 to 2008, especially with the videos Jungle Chaos (115.000 views), Revenge & Salvation (169.000) and Revenge & Salvation II (126.000) which were a big hit.
"Boop Girls" (88.000 views) was our first paid project and was for the game publisher Outspark who used the video to promote one of their events.
