Description

Rogue Snail is a fully remote game studio from Brazil! We fully embraced remote working, which allows us to have a beautifully diverse team from all around the country. Our core team has been making games for over 10 years and we’re still not addicted to it. Creators of Chroma Squad, Relic Hunters Zero, Relic Hunters Legend, Dungeonland and Star Vikings. We believe in spreading love through our games. If the game makers feel loved, if they love what they are creating, and if they love their players – you can feel that love when you play. That is our ultimate goal.

History

Early history

Mark’s first real shot at this weird “professional game development” thing was Dungeonland. Together with 4 friends he founded Critical Studio, and 3 years later the game was being released on Steam. It was far from perfect (no first game ever is, right?), but it was a huge deal for the Brazilian game’s industry. To date, it’s still the only Brazilian game to ever make it into Steam’s Top 10 best-selling list (it actually got as far as #3).

After that

After Critical Studio’s closure, Mark has created Rogue Snail and worked as a game designer on games such as Chroma Squad (freelancing for Behold Studios) and Relic Hunters Zero (released as a free an open source game on Steam in 2015). In 2013 Mark also created the charity event Super BR Jam, which got together over 25 studios from Brazil and the world to raise funds for a school for poor children in Rio. Mark also worked on the development of Star Vikings in 2016 and now the Rogue Snail team are cooking the newest and ambitious project of the studio: Relic Hunters Legend.
