🧊 About the Developer

Hi, I’m Arel—the lone penguin behind the studio.

I’m a solo game developer based in the Netherlands, and the heart and hands behind Lone Penguin Studios. My love for video games started early, thanks to my older brother who introduced me to the Game Boy and Mega Drive. From those pixelated adventures to the immersive worlds of modern consoles, gaming has always been my passion and my escape.

Over the years, I’ve played on every major console, soaking in the creativity, storytelling, and joy that games can offer. Now, I’m channeling that lifelong love into creating my own games—ones that spark imagination, offer comfort, and leave lasting memories.

🐧 Why “Lone Penguin”?

Growing up, penguins were my favorite animal. My fascination began with Pingu, and I’ve been enchanted ever since. I always dreamed of seeing a penguin in real life, and their quirky charm and quiet resilience stuck with me. As a solo developer venturing into the vast world of game creation, I felt a kinship with the idea of a lone penguin—braving the cold, waddling forward, and building something meaningful.

🎯 My Mission

To create unique games that build immersive worlds and tell stories players can truly lose themselves in.

Whether it’s stepping into the role of a humble vacuum cleaner climbing the ranks of the cleaning world, or exploring a mysterious land to uncover the secrets of a lost civilization—my goal is to make games that are memorable, meaningful, and always fun to play.

I believe games should spark curiosity, offer escape, and leave players with moments they’ll carry with them long after the credits roll. At Lone Penguin Studios, every game is a new adventure—and I’m here to make each one worth waddling into.
