What is your first gaming experience? 

 

I remember playing contra on an arcade machine near my house some time in the early to late 1990s. It was a simple shooting game with pixelated graphics but had the appeal of being a hero which I liked as a young kid that time.1_Battle


What got you into programming games?

I major in business and I joined a games development internship where I met my other co-founders. We are all passionate about playing games but discovered that making games can be fun too. The whole self-expression, creativity needed to design and iterate to make something fun was something we wanted to do while studying and finally started doing it commercially after graduation.3_Battle


What development tools or coding did you use?

Our current games are mostly 2D and mobile based so we use Unity as the main engine.

What hurdles did you have making your current game?

Development has been exciting with many development challenges. Our idea actually evolved from something more complicated, with a larger scope to something simpler but still challenging for a small team like our. Iterating the game design was time consuming but enlightening to improve it. However, these We ensured that we had good development systems in place with very frequent updates and communication to make things more efficient. 5_Battle
