Wild Lantern Studio is a small independent game studio based in Seattle, WA, founded by multi-media artist Johana Canales (aka Momo Paints).

Johana has been playing video games since she was five years old, when her parents gifted her and her sister their first Super Nintendo. From a young age, she was drawn to creating fantastical worlds as a way to escape reality.

Johana's passion for art led her to study formally in high school and college, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Art at Temple University's Japan Campus. Throughout her studies, she explored a multitude of visual mediums, including watercolor painting and digital illustration. She eventually taught herself how to use Unity and C# programming language, developing the skills she needed to start creating her own games.

Now, as the founder of Wild Lantern Studio, Johana is fulfilling her dream of running a self-funded studio with a small team of talented creatives and developers who share her love for crafting fun and engaging gaming experiences. With a focus on telling vivid stories through video games, Wild Lantern Studio is committed to creating games that capture the imagination and leave players wanting more.
