About the Studio

Nine Lanterns Studio is a small independent studio making games lit by warm lanterns against the dark. We care about atmosphere, honest craft, and the quiet moments between the fights.

Our current projects are Spellblade, a 2D pixel fantasy RPG of steel and spellcraft; Last Light Inn, a side-view survival shelter game about holding the last lights; and a colony builder still in early design, where people matter and winter rewards preparation.

Mike founded the studio and keeps the lanterns lit. Beside him are Lenore and the rest of the crew — developers, designers, audio, research, and the Level Bosses who own each game’s day-to-day.

We are building slowly and carefully. When something is ready to share, you will hear it here first.
