Lupio Studios brothers Pasquale, Vittorio, and Matteo said today: “Our love for videogames began in our very young age. Since childhood, we’ve been shaped by the worlds of Zelda, Pokémon, and Monster Hunter. Our biggest inspiration, however comes from the Dragon Quest saga. Its blend of drama, irony, and important values in a fantasy adventure captured our hearts early on. Now, we’ve spent four years chasing our dream: making a game together. Despite our limited resources, our passion and hard work pushed us, and what we’re sharing now is just the beginning. We are hopeful for the support of RPG fans who want to join us on this incredible journey!”
