Prince of Persia

"Embark on a wild adventure set in the midst of a rebellion against a totalitarian regime in this new take on the cinematic platformer."


My name is Johan Vinet (https://twitter.com/johanvinet), husband and father of two. I'm from France, but live in Canada. I've worked for several years as a pixel artist and animator in the independent video game industry I've contributed to a dozen games such as Flinthook, Shovel Knight Showdown, Adventure Time, Mercenary Kings Reloaded, Halfway, and Rivals of Aether.

Prince of Persia and Flashback have made a significant impact on me as a kid. Seeking to recreate the special feeling conveyed by these games, I started working on Lunark in my spare time. Given the enthusiasm around the project and how my passion grew about it, it became obvious to me that this game had to see the light.


In September 2018, I quit my job to start my own solo-studio: Canari Games Inc => http://http://www.canarigames.com/. I'm now working on Lunark (a cinematic platformer) => http://www.lunarkthegame.com


The engine is GameMaker Studio 2. I've been working on LUNARK for about 18 months in my spare time. The most significant progress has been made in the last 6 months when I decided to go for a crowdfunding campaign => http://bit.ly/LunarkTheGame.

Hi Johan.
For what it's worth, I've linked to your Kickstarter campaign on the Princed Twitter and Facebook accounts.

It's worth a lot to me! Thank you very much Norbert!

Already has a Steam page:

(Personally, the game's screenshots remind me a lot more of Flashback than PoP.)
