Felipe Ribeiro Daneluz

Felipe Ribeiro Daneluz, mostly known by his alias "LakeFeperd," is a game developer from São Paulo, Brazil. He emerged from the Sonic fangame community with Sonic Before the Sequel, which was commonly praised around the time of its release. Since then, he has completed seven increasingly well-received projects, his most popular being Spark the Electric Jester.

History
In 2010, after compiling his ideas and researching on online forums, Lake began development on Sonic Before the Sequel, the first in a series of tributes to the Sonic franchise. The finished product saw release on December 15, 2011.

This game would signal exciting things to come for Lake, having already won the title of "Best in Show" at SAGE 2011 in the form of a demo. Despite a few bugs, the full BtS gained a large player base and eventually caught the attention of an amateur musician, Falk Au Yeong. Falk approached Lake with the intent to see if they could strike a deal for BtS to include its own original music. Lake was very interested, and the two planned an updated version of the game with a new soundtrack by a team of composers, itself releasing on August 5, 2012.

LakeFeperd hadn't slowed down at all by the time BtS was available to the players. A follow-up, Sonic After the Sequel, was being prototyped as Falk and his team were still writing their music. In 2013, not only did Lake release After the Sequel, but his fans were treated to the experimental game Sonic Chrono Adventure. Chrono Adventure's code served as the basis for Spark the Electric Jester, his debut original title.

Lake learned Unity in a short timeframe and used it for XF Racing Institute (renamed XF Drive in its latest demo). He bounced back and forth between XF and Spark, with Spark winning over his attention.
