Daruma Games is a San Francisco based game studio founded by veteran developers/friends Loren and Simon, building experiences fueled by a love for games that are best played on a comfy couch.
Games bring people together, and we aim to leverage our love of cooperation and chaos to make games that’ll turn up the heat at your game nights.
We are…
Loren Weng
Cofounder

Programming
Loren made his first game on a TI-84 two decades ago, and hasn’t stopped since. At WB Games, he helped build DC: Legends and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Oh, and also met Simon. Loren is plugged into the matrix, and you’ll seldom find him without games, movies, streams or some other kind of entertainment by his side.

Simon has 15 years of experience building and engineering games. He has been a technical leader on game projects at Zynga, SuperMoon, and WB Games. Simon is a lifelong space nerd, and when not making and playing games, he has traveled the world chasing solar eclipses.
