About the studio

A small studio with a long memory.

Ludos is an independent app developer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. We’re small on purpose, a handful of people who like to design, build, and play in equal measure.

What our name means

The Latin word ludus carried two meanings at once: a game, and a school. The same place where Romans went to play was where they went to learn. That double meaning is the whole idea behind Ludos. We build things that are a pleasure to use and that leave you a little sharper than you started.

How we work

We keep the team tiny and the scope honest. An idea earns its place by being fun first. If it isn't enjoyable in our own hands, it doesn't ship. We'd rather make a few things we're proud of than many we're not.

Where we're headed

Right now our attention is on Forum, our first game. It’s not out yet, but it’s the clearest expression so far of what this studio is about. Stay tuned for our launch.

Play first

Fun is the spec. If it isn't fun to hold, we go back to the drawing board.

Made with care

Small details, finished properly. We sweat the corners no one asked about.

Quietly local

Built in Vancouver, BC, for players anywhere.
