About LastPlace Games
Small studio, big dreams
Our Story
LastPlace Games was founded with a simple mission: to create fun, engaging games that bring joy to players around the world. What started as a hobby has grown into a passion project dedicated to crafting unique gaming experiences.
Despite the name "LastPlace," we strive to put gameplay first, focusing on creating mechanics that feel satisfying and worlds that spark imagination. We may be small, but we dream big and work hard to bring those dreams to life.
MJ Carpenter
Founder & Lead DeveloperAs a one-person studio, I wear many hats - programmer, designer, artist, and more. My journey in game development began with a fascination for how games work and evolved into a passion for creating them.
I believe that great games don't necessarily need massive teams or budgets. Sometimes the most memorable experiences come from focused, heartfelt projects built by small teams (or even individuals) with a clear vision.
Our Games
Each game at LastPlace Games is crafted with attention to detail and a focus on fun. From arcade-style experiences like "Dodgy Rush" to atmospheric adventures like "Moon's Adventure," we aim to create diverse games that appeal to different types of players.
We believe in quality over quantity, taking the time to ensure each game feels polished and provides a satisfying experience, whether you're playing for a few minutes or a few hours.
Our Game Philosophy
At LastPlace Games, we believe games should be:
- Fun First: Enjoyable gameplay is our top priority
- Accessible: Easy to pick up, with depth for those who seek it
- Memorable: Creating moments and experiences that stick with players
- Polished: Even small games deserve attention to detail
The Future
While LastPlace Games is currently a one-person operation, we have big dreams for the future. We're constantly learning, improving, and working on new projects that we hope will resonate with players.
We're grateful for every player who tries our games and appreciate your support on this journey. Stay tuned for more games, updates, and adventures!
