About Yellow Panda
Yellow Panda is a Brazilian external development studio delivering co-development, full-cycle game engineering, art outsourcing, and post-launch support for game companies and interactive-media clients. Its work spans engagements for indie, AA, and AAA developers, alongside internally developed lightweight game titles.
Production capabilities
The studio combines visual production with engineering services across the game-development lifecycle:
- Art and design: 2D concept art, UI/UX, 3D environments, characters, weapons, props, technical art, and Spine 2D animation.
- Engineering: Full-cycle development, co-development, multiplayer networking, DevOps, proprietary tools, engine integration, and cross-platform porting.
- Platform support: PC, console, mobile, web, XR/VR, and Roblox experiences.
- Live services: LiveOps development, quality assurance, bug tracking, performance profiling, and optimization.
Yellow Panda’s technical-art work includes custom shaders, render and performance optimization, material profiling, and pipeline tooling. Its animation practice uses Spine 2D for complex rigging, skinning, mesh deformation, and animation blending. The studio also develops advergames, educational applications, and XR safety simulations for enterprise and branded interactive projects.
Games and collaborations
The studio has contributed external co-development and art-outsourcing work to projects including Dungeon Defenders II, Cyber Fighters, Mafia Paradise, Poikilingo, Towering Treats, Knowa Slide, Space Lab, and Outposts. Its proprietary titles include Idle Hurricane, Merge Tornado, and Idle Black Hole.
Yellow Panda works with international publishers, studios, brands, and platforms across games and interactive media. Reported collaborators and clients include Chromatic Games, Meta, Microsoft, Disney, Netflix, HBO Max, NBA, Adidas, Lion Studios, Plug In Digital, Voodoo, and Globo.
Founded in 2017, the company operates as an independent Brazilian studio with a distributed, remote-first production model. Its multidisciplinary team supports both standalone production needs and integrated external-development partnerships, from early concepts through launch, porting, and ongoing live operations.
