About Lumen Games

Lumen Games is an independent Brazilian game development studio founded in 2004 and based in Aracaju, Sergipe. It develops original games and works with international publishers as an external production partner, with a focus on free-to-play mobile games, Unity development and live operations since 2015.

The studio's work spans the mobile product lifecycle, from concept exploration and prototyping through playtesting, soft launch and ongoing content updates. Its capabilities include product strategy, technical production, backend systems, quality assurance and game balancing. Long-term development combines content roadmap execution with retention analytics and continuous improvements to games already in operation.

Co-development and live games

Lumen Games served as a primary production and engineering studio for Hempire: Plant Growing Game, developed in partnership with Vancouver-based LBC Studios. It also co-produced The Goldbergs: Back to the '80s with East Side Games and Sony Pictures Television, bringing together creative and engineering teams across Canada, the United States and Germany. Its work with East Side Games also includes live operations and engineering support for Bud Farm: Idle Tycoon.

These projects sit alongside the studio's broader external development offering, which includes full-cycle mobile production, licensed intellectual property adaptation and ongoing LiveOps management. Its production model combines work on original properties with commissioned development and international co-productions.

Original and licensed projects

The studio's portfolio includes Merge Potions: Puzzle Games, also known as Potions: A Magical Game of Puzzles, and Operação Abaporu, a Brazilian cultural investigation adventure game. Other projects include Kids vs. Zombies, Stake Your Stash and Velozes do Oeste.

Across its original and partner projects, Lumen Games combines mobile engineering with product development and continued operation after release. Its experience encompasses both mobile and web titles, while its current core business centers on freemium mobile production and the sustained development of live games.
