The game creator based in Montreal, Québec previously participated as an animator on Tribute Games' Flinthook and Mercenary Kings. Lunark secured funding in 2019 through a successful Kickstarter campaign. As an homage to classic 2D action-adventure games, from Prince of Persia to Flashback, Vinet utilized rotoscoping animation techniques, tracing over live action video footage.
Lunark is currently available for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S consoles, along with Windows through Steam. The 14-track game score is also available for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music.
