The original mark
The first identity of a new Puerto Rican game studio finding its voice.
The Platano Team archive
A decade in
the making.
What began in Puerto Rico in 2015 grew through small games, changing ideas, homebrew experiments, new technology, and a lot of learning along the way.

2015 — present01 Identity through the years
The logo changed.
The spirit stayed.
Each identity marks a different chapter: from the earliest experiments to the studio Platano Team is becoming today.
First releases
A sharper identity for the years when experiments began reaching players.
Two sides of one era
Primary and alternate marks used while the studio explored new formats and platforms.
The current chapter
A familiar banana, refined for a broader and more ambitious future.
02 The timeline
Ten years,
one step at a time.
Not every year brought a finished release. Some brought prototypes, technical lessons, a new direction, or simply the determination to continue.
The beginning
A Puerto Rican dream becomes Platano Team.
Growing up, Eric Roquel Correa rarely saw Puerto Rican game studios or locally made games recognized around the world. He founded Platano Team to help change that, to create original games from his hometown, become part of Puerto Rico’s game-development history, and show the world what creators from the island can build.

Experiments become releases.
Platano Team moved beyond private prototypes and began publishing games for the web and Android, learning from every build and every player.

The work expands beyond one kind of project.
New tools, platforms, visual identities, and technical experiments broadened what Platano Team could build while games remained at its center.

Nintendo DS homebrew joins the story.
Jovani Vazquez: The Game DS brought Platano Team to original Nintendo DS hardware and opened a new chapter of homebrew development.

The current logo arrives.
A refreshed Platano Team identity accompanied ongoing Nintendo DS experiments, including the development of Pancho Maker DS, and a more focused direction for the studio.

A decade of making, learning, and starting again.
The tenth anniversary was not an ending. It marked ten years of independent creation and a foundation for larger games, software, hardware, music, and experimental work.
10 years · Independent development · Still learningThe next adventure
Dark Light moves toward release.
Platano Team continues developing Dark Light, a story-driven pixel-art platformer adventure planned for Steam, while preserving its smaller projects and homebrew archive.
Enter the world of Dark Light →03 What remained
Different eras.
The same roots.
Made in Puerto Rico
The studio’s home, perspective, and identity remain part of every chapter.
Built from curiosity
Games may lead the way, but software, hardware, music, and unusual experiments all belong here.
Preserve the process
Old builds and homebrew projects are kept playable because unfinished and imperfect work is still part of the story.
