About Ignite Game Studio

Ignite Game Studio is an independent Brazilian developer focused on virtual reality, mixed reality and extended-reality games. Founded in Bauru, São Paulo, the boutique team builds immersive interactive entertainment with Unreal Engine, combining C++ and Blueprints development with 3D modelling, environment design and character production.

Its work ranges from full-cycle VR/XR game development and original IP creation to custom game design, consulting and interactive 3D art. The studio’s original concepts draw on Brazilian folklore as well as satirical science-fiction settings, with projects designed for contemporary immersive platforms.

Immersive game catalogue

  • Atomic Pest Control is a retro-futuristic mixed-reality arcade game for Meta Quest in which players use atomic rackets against radioactive insects.
  • Doctor Galaxy is a comedic VR sandbox simulation centred on operating on and customising alien life forms.
  • The Ballad Of The Sundried is a chapter-based VR roguelite shooter rooted in dark Brazilian folklore; it has also been referenced during development as Masks of Revenge and Corpo Seco.
  • The King of Backwoods VR (O Rei do Cangaço) is an Unreal Engine VR shooter inspired by Lampião, a prominent figure of northeastern Brazilian folk culture.

From regional culture to XR

The studio developed early playable work on The King of Backwoods VR while assembling specialised 3D and VR talent, then presented the project at Brasil Game Show. Its subsequent catalogue continues that emphasis on culturally informed, technically focused immersive games.

Ignite operates as a compact team and works with remote freelance and specialist developers across São Paulo state and Brazil. It remains an active independent studio, releasing commercial XR titles while developing new projects for platforms including Meta Quest, SteamVR and PSVR.
