Rami Ismail (born 30 October 1988) is a Dutch-Egyptian independent video game developer. He is further known for being a spokesperson within the video game industry on the topics of diversity and reaching out to game developers from developing countries. He co-founded the studio Vlambeer with Jan Willem Nijman in 2010, where they developed games such as Ridiculous Fishing, Luftrausers, and Nuclear Throne. Ismail was born in the Netherlands to an Egyptian father and Dutch mother, and was raised as a Muslim. Ismail had attended the Utrecht School of the Arts where he met Jan Willem Nijman. The two paired up during a game development course, producing what they thought was a potentially marketable game. When the school demanded rights to the game, both dropped out of the school and founded Vlambeer in 2010 so they could continue developing games without this type of interference. While many of Vlambeer's games were critically well received, the studio was propelled by the overnight success of the 2013 mobile game Ridiculous Fishing, which brought in more than US$1 million in revenue within six months, helping to financially stabilize Vlambeer and both Ismail and Nijman. Through Vlambeer, Ismail led the development of presskit() and distribute(), free online tools for independent developers to prepare and distribute press kits and marketing materials, demo-ready copies of games, and other materials to press members. As a Muslim and frequently in contact with members of the video game industry outside of Western and Asian nations, Ismail has spoken about better reaching programmers in developing countries.
