The studio is co-directed by Paolo Lella, who is also chief executive and lead programmer, and Fabrizio Laborano, who serves as creative director. The game began as a crowdfunded project before the studio entered a publishing partnership with Team17, and Beehive presents it as a heartfelt creature collector that pays homage to the monster collector games that came before it while aiming to stand on its own.1111The Game1313LumenTale: Memories of Trey is set in the Italian-inspired land of Talea and follows Trey as he recovers his lost memories alongside creatures called Animon. For the full overview, see the LumenTale: Memories of Trey page.1515Crowdfunding Origins1717LumenTale: Memories of Trey began as a crowdfunded campaign in early 2023. The campaign ran for 28 days, from January 10 to February 7, and raised EUR 160,948 from 2,914 backers, clearing its EUR 75,000 goal by roughly 214 percent. A free demo went live during the campaign window so backers could try the game directly. Two years later, in 2025, Beehive Studios signed its publishing partnership with Team17 to bring the full release to PC and Nintendo Switch.1919After Launch2121Since the May 26, 2026 launch, Beehive has released four hotfixes. Its first major content update, first planned for July 2026, released on September 29, 2026 as Update 1, followed by a hotfix on Steam on October 8, 2026. Before release, on September 14, 2026, the publisher's community team said the update was being worked on at the same time as the planned PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S ports, with Team17 supporting the studio on the porting, and relayed the studio's reason for the delay: a serious issue affecting the Japanese version of the game on Nintendo Switch, which the Update 1 notes list as fixed. The same reply said only a small part of the team attended Gamescom 2026 and that the trip did not affect development.
