A small studio with a lamp and an unreasonable standard.
Lampeye Games is a three-person studio from São Paulo, Brazil. We make games about pressure — endless hordes, thinning resources, and the small light you carry into places that would rather you didn't. The studio is young. The people in it are not.
The anglerfish is our mascot for a reason. It lives where nothing else does, carries its own light, and everything that follows that light ends up somewhere it did not expect. That is the deal we offer players.
Depth over noise
One idea, heated until it moves and struck until it holds. We would rather finish one thing properly than start ten.
The light is earned
We do not hold hands. We give you a lamp, a chance, and consequences that remember you.
Small crew, sharp teeth
Three people, no committee. Every decision is signed by someone who has to live with it.
CEO / COFOUNDER
Gabriel de Medeiros
Points the lantern and keeps the studio breathing. He comes from startups, where he learned what it costs to keep something alive, and is finishing his degree at USP. He wanted to make games long before he started building companies.
“Someone has to choose where the light goes. It is never the safe direction.”
CTO / GAME DESIGNER / COFOUNDER
Nicolas Risso
Builds the machinery that makes the dark move, and designs the rules it feeds on. Three years shipping games as a programmer, part of it leading the engineering side. Studied Information Systems at USP and went back for a master's on the business of games — because on a team this small, someone has to know what the money is doing.
“I count cycles so the dark arrives exactly on time.”
ART MANAGER / COFOUNDER
Unknown Lamp Holder
Draws everything you will ever see of us, and chose to be the one thing you never do. Fifteen years in, and currently art manager at one of the biggest games companies in Brazil — which is precisely why the name stays off this page.
“You will know my hand and never my face. A lamp should light the room, not itself.”
