About SemiFalse
The Foundation
Why SemiFalse Exists
SemiFalse was founded on the belief that great stories should not be trapped inside one format. A world can begin as a game, expand into comics, become animation, inspire music, and grow into merchandise, novels, films, and interactive experiences.
What began with Barow’s Tempus of Bellum has evolved into a larger entertainment vision. SemiFalse now serves as the parent creative universe for original intellectual property, giving each story room to grow into something bigger than a single project.

Flagship Universe
History of Barow’s Tempus of Bellum
The origins of Barow’s Tempus of Bellum began with a group of Westfield High School students who met online after school to play World of Warcraft competitively under the guild name Tempus of Bellum. The guild became highly successful during the Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions before the original members eventually disbanded to pursue college, university, and new life paths.
Although the guild separated, many of its members continued playing World of Warcraft throughout the years. Later, several members reconnected around the idea of designing a potential video game and board game inspired by fantasy RPG mechanics, strategic gameplay, World of Warcraft, and Dungeons & Dragons. This early creative group became known internally as the incubator.
The incubator grew as more Westfield High School alumni and associate friends joined the effort. After developing alpha and beta concepts for expected BToB gameplay, the group ran through a Golden Sun-inspired Dungeons & Dragons campaign to test ideas, refine mechanics, and strengthen the narrative direction of the world.
Interest began to grow through local comic and game shops, where the group met key players in the industry they hoped to enter. A BToB Discord community was created to discuss ideas, narratives, designs, and worldbuilding with players and supporters who wanted to help advance the project.
As the project matured, Anthony and his media and entertainment team were consulted to refine the lore, creative direction, brand identity, and distribution strategy. During this process, the discovery that the BToB copyright name had already been taken led to a larger naming conversation. SemiFalse emerged as a competitive creative name and eventually became the umbrella brand and parent shell for BToB and the larger universe being built around it.
Join the Journey
SemiFalse is more than a studio name. It is the beginning of a connected creative universe shaped by storytellers, gamers, artists, supporters, and fans who believe original worlds still matter.
