About Fallen Flag Studio
Fallen Flag Studio was founded by Francesco Barsotti and Jonathan Costantini after taking a break from their third year at University in order to go full-time on the development of “Eldest Souls”, their first pixel-art, souls-like title.

They departed for university and studied Games Programming at the University of Derby in the UK. At a free Intel event in London, they teamed up with composer and sound designer, Sergio Ronchetti. Eldest Souls is the first title of Fallen Flag Studio, a team of driven individuals based in Derby who are striving to give a new, unique spin to the souls-like genre.
