Studio Laser Productions (also known as Lonestar Publishing) is a casual and experimental game studio founded by "Laser" Salovaara and "Starlancer" Halonen, dedicated to, of course, experimenting on different game programming techniques. Studio Laser develops browser-based games with JavaScript, CSS and HTML, "the language Laser knows the best".[1]

History[]

8 months prior, in February 2014, Salovaara created a clicking game, called Dogecoin Clicker, which was published in his own Tumblr blog. He marketed the game through word-to-mouth and the game got favourable reviews. He was then annoyed by the success of the game, and deleted the game from his Tumblr blog three months later. The game was then revived after 3 months of calming down and since it was a "success" in his school.

In October 25th, 2014, Salovaara and Halonen started planning on a new game, of what would've come "Space Adventure RPG", but after he started coding the game, he didn't knew how to make the character float, but he knew how to make the character (or a object) jump in places, with controlling it with both WASD and arrow keys. The failed effort then became Pung, programmed and published the next day, which, while asked locally, Laser said to be "mostly boring game with no effort putted into it". Suprisingly, it got more positive reviews than Dogecoin Clicker.

Their next game was Impossible Pong, the Pong clone which's speed was changed to maximum, "with no ability to even do anything as quick as the ball goes everywhere".

Identity[]

The Studio Laser logo was similiar to Atari logo, as it's a "reference-homage-love letter-kind of a combination" to Atari, who made one of the earliest video games, Pong, and the worst video game "of all time", E.T. for Atari 2600.

The Lonestar logo was a result of a scribble made by Laser, when he "splitted a side of a square, and added a line".

The studio employes 3 people, while 2 of them are the key people, including:

  • "Laser" Salovaara (the key member), the co-founder, producer, programmer, marketer, artist and researcher.
