Pixel Pilgrim Studios Launches with Three Exciting Indie Games in Active Development

Los Angeles 02/15/2025 – Pixel Pilgrim Studios, an independent game studio founded and operated by Abraham Cuenca, a senior software engineer with over 20 years of professional development experience, is proud to announce its official launch. Building on a lifetime of gaming passion and the creativity honed through years of professional software engineering, Abraham is bringing three unique games to life.

A Long Road to the Indie Dream

Abraham first learned to program with the dream of creating video games but found an unexpected career path as a consultant in web development. From there, a series of full-time roles in private security, health care, and automotive publishing industries further sharpened Abraham’s technical expertise. Despite these ventures, the call to make games never faded. Over the years, Abraham has explored a variety of game engines such as Unity, Defold, Phaser, and Godot, building a skill set that now fuels an unwavering commitment to indie game creation. “I’ve always loved gaming,” said Abraham. “Even though life took me through web development and consulting in different industries, that original goal of making my games stayed with me. Now, I’m finally combining my professional background with my passion for gaming.”

Three Indie Titles, One Vision

  1. UAP – A fast-paced, retro-arcade-style game where players must abduct humans to score points while dodging swarms of enemies and obstacles. Nearing Early Access on Steam, UAP channels classic arcade energy with updated twists.
  2. Arcana – A casual, visually rich experience that offers tarot readings across multiple layouts, accompanied by an esoteric ambient new-age soundtrack. Arcana invites introspective players to explore mystical themes in a laid-back, immersive format.
  3. SnackSwap – A playful match-3 puzzle game bursting with vibrant colors and catchy tunes, designed for casual gaming sessions that somebody can enjoy anytime, anywhere.

Solo-Developed, Community-Inspired

Established in 2025, Pixel Pilgrim Studios is the culmination of Abraham’s decade-spanning passion for code and gameplay. Fueled by the early community feedback gathered from streaming sessions on Twitch, Abraham aims to bridge the gap between player and developer in meaningful ways. “Whether you’re speeding through retro-arcade chaos, relaxing with tarot readings, or matching snacks, my goal is simple: create games that people can enjoy,” added Abraham. “I’m beyond excited to share these three experiences and see where they take us.”
