To make Pineapple happen, we've teamed up with the best crew out there. As always. Indie studios like ours might not have a lot of luxuries, but one thing we love is picking our team.
From the get-go, we knew we wanted to work with our pals at Devilish Games. They don't just make cool, original games—they're also some of the best people around. Seriously, they know their stuff and are super pro.
And to this awesome crew, we got to bring in the skills of David Octane (Art), Xavi Paradis (Music), and Rocío (Marketing).
Anaïs
Anaïs Salla, who holds a degree in game production and design, has quickly made her mark in the industry. Despite her relatively short tenure, she has contributed to numerous indie, educational, serious, and advertising games. Currently, she is developing her own indie game, Nom Nom: Cozy Forest Café. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check it out.
Anaïs has assisted us in designing our challenges, accomplishing what we found very difficult: creating games with simple, engaging mechanics that avoid player frustration.
Enrique
Enrique is a senior technician in computer applications development with over 25 years of experience crafting applications and video games for various platforms. Whatever you need, Enrique’s got it covered—and he’ll exceed your expectations. His approach might be a bit old-school. But it’s solid and it works. "That can't be done" is not a phrase you’ll hear from him, making him a gem in the industry. Minimal bugs and even fewer blocks. Enrique has programmed Pineapple for PC, iOS, Android and is now working on the Nintendo Switch port.
David Ferriz
David Ferriz, hailing from Villena, is a technician in Plastic Arts and Design with a focus on Illustration. With over 25 years of experience in independent video games, advergaming, and serious games through his company, DevilishGames, David specializes in game design, art, and production.
David is a versatile asset who’s always ready to help. He’s contributed to game design, provided invaluable marketing advice, and has even rescued us from production hiccups. He’s the kind of person you’d trust with the keys to your house without a second thought.
David Octane
David Octane is an illustrator and animator based in Barcelona, working both locally and internationally with clothing brands, digital agencies, music bands, cultural events, animation studios, and more. He also develops his own diverse projects and is always open to new creative approaches.
David has played a key role in helping us define the style we wanted. Deliberately drawing in a way that looks intentionally imperfect is no easy feat, but David excels at it. His talent, enthusiasm, and energy shine through in everything he does. He helped us achieve the perfect look for Pineapple: carefree, cartoonish, edgy, colorful—truly unique. Everything you see is handmade. Old school. A genius. It’s been a privilege to have him on this project.
Xavier Paradis
Xavier Paradis is a veteran producer, composer, and sound designer with over a decade of experience across various genres including electronic, rock, synth-pop, classical, and jazz. He’s earned recognition in the Spanish and European indie scenes through personal projects and collaborations, with awards from Vicious Music Awards, Berlin Music Video Awards, and Demoscópicas de Mondosonoro. Paradis has performed at major festivals like Primavera Sound, SXSW, and Eurosonic, and has been featured in creative programs such as the European Talent Exchange Programme. His work spans cinema, art installations, and immersive exhibitions, and he specializes in video game music and sound design, collaborating with studios like Drakhar Studio, Peak Games, and Small Detour.
Xavi is our prodigal "son". From Canada he has once again put his talent at the service of our project. And once again he has outdone himself. The version of Wooly Bully by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs is sublime. But if in addition to talent you have passion for what you do, these things happen. We had a hard time finding the right tone for the soundtrack: not too childish, not too serious. Tropical but not too much. Comic but rogue. Few can face such a briefing and create a soundtrack so, so... perfect?
Rocío
Rocío Vega is a visual marketing specialist for video games, with a decade of experience in creating captivating captures and videos. Recently, she has focused on helping indie studios elevate their projects. In addition to her work at LOOP as a virtual photographer and creating trailers under her personal brand VegaVi, she also takes on roles as a video game producer.
Rocío has been indispensable to us, handling everything from crafting our trailer and setting up our Steam page to organizing our Steam Next Fest stream and managing our social media. Her advice and insights have been incredibly valuable. Rocío is a true gem—well-polished and exceptional in every way.
In addition to the main team, there are a few key contributors we must acknowledge for their role in creating Pineapple:
- Jose Ramon Calvo and Lisa Fox have handled the localization.
- A. Duran and A. Blanco have assisted Enrique with programming.
- Vivian Reed has provided the voice work for all the characters.
- Lollipop Robot have done the QA
- Alicia Torres our wonderful intern
Our most sincere thanks to you all.
