Lystrosaurus Studio
Lystrosaurus Studio is an independent computer game developer based in Vancouver, Canada. The studio's mission is to sustainably create games that connect with players' curiosity, playfulness, and quirky interests.
The studio's first game is Spore Valley, a bite-sized resource management puzzle that began life as a Ludum Dare entry, before being reconstructed from the ground up as a small, complete game. Its target release is November 2024.
The studio's namesake, Lystrosaurus, was a group of prehistoric animals distantly related to mammals. They are most notable for surviving through the worst mass extinction of Earth's history, the Great Dying at end of the Permian period.
Despite the trying times, lystrosaurs went on to thrive after the mass extinction, becoming the most abundant land vertebrate on the planet for several million years afterwards. While all good things must come to an end, and lystrosaurs are no longer with us today, they still provide an inspirational example of resilience and persistence in the face of large-scale challenges.
