Hi, I'm Lucas!

I’m a former history teacher who decided to make games.

I started as a hobby in 2012 when I was getting my master's degree. We had an assignment to make history more widely available, so I made a flash game called Avant-Garde, where you play as an artist in 19th century Paris.

I fell in love with making games, so I went on to make Painters Guild (an art academy management sim) and Roguemance (a roguelite with romance).

Historia Realis is my dream game. It takes you to Republican Rome and lets you do everything that the Romans did back then: socialize at the baths, sacrifice to the gods, and, of course, backstab your friends and eliminate your enemies!

You can follow me on Twitter.

Thanks!
