Purple Lamp Studios is an Austrian video game developer based in Vienna.[2] It was founded as an independent company in 2018 by employees from Sproing Interactive after Sproing filed for insolvency in 2016 and closed down in 2017. They had also acquired the rights for the Sproing brand and certain games previously made by them, and kept the games active by operating a sub-division under the name Sproing Publishing.[3]
