Independent game studio — est. May 2025
We are Falafel/Ludos Studios, a collaborative indie game development studio born from the union of two creative teams:
Falafel, founded by Matteo Francioso and Leone, and Ludos, the personal label of Cristiano Valentini — developer and creative director.
As of today, our team counts around 8 members, each contributing unique skills across design, programming, art, writing, and sound.
We joined forces to explore the artistic potential of games and craft experiences that are expressive, immersive, and emotionally impactful.
๐งฉ Our Vision
At Falafel/Ludos, we believe in:
Building worlds with depth and purpose
Designing interactive stories that resonate
Creating games that feel alive and personal
We see each project as an opportunity to experiment — combining emotional storytelling, unique mechanics, and strong visual identity.
Weโre not just making games. Weโre shaping experiences that speak.
๐ฅ Our Identity
Falafel is a multidisciplinary game team founded by Matteo Francioso and Leone — driven by experimentation, design culture, and creative collaboration.
Ludos is the solo studio of Cristiano Valentini, a developer and creative director focused on poetic interactivity and minimal, story-driven experiences with a strong emotional core.
Together, we form Falafel/Ludos Studios, a team of about 8 passionate creators, united by a shared creative philosophy and mutual support across all stages of development.
๐ฝ๏ธ A Story in Motion
Founded in May 2025, weโre just at the beginning of our journey.
Through our YouTube channel and devlogs, weโll take you behind the scenes — sharing our vision, our process, and our people.
๐ฅ This is only the first chapter.
