The studio & the game

Made by one person,
with a lot of heart.

Paradise Fleet is a solo project built in the open. Here's who's behind it and where it's headed.

The creator

Hey, I'm João

JMiranda Games is my solo dev studio, where I build the kind of games I've always loved — the ones where you lose a whole night to interlocking systems and just-one-more-thing problem solving.

I grew up in Brazil on RollerCoaster Tycoon, SimCity, The Sims and Locomotion. Now, in Australia, I'm turning that lifelong love into something to share.

The game

Paradise Fleet

My first solo title: a cruise ship management game. Design your ships, manage your crew, and keep everything running while your guests enjoy the holiday of a lifetime.

Development is well underway, with a playable demo planned for early 2027. I post regular devlogs — follow along here.
