About Us
Who We Are
We're about making fun games, the profit that results and about growing our
skills and giving it back to our community - a portion of our profits go to
charitable purposes. Our focus is positive value games - with easy to follow
rules, and bright fun colors and art.
We began operating in 2015 and our team has already grown to more than 15
commited game developers, artist and gamers. Our plans include significant
expansion in the immediate and near term, to meet the needs of building
our proprietary titles and
outsource work.
Our team is composed of skilled game designers, 3D and 2D artists and
programmers for Android/IOS and other platforms.
We're creating the fun games of tomorrow ... today.
How We Work
We work in Unity, Unreal, Adobe, 3ds Max and Maya, among others. We create - and can help you create - concept art, characters (development through final rendering), game art assets and storyboards. We can also help you with concept to complete game development.
Our Location
We're located in Bacolod City, Philippines which has quality of life, state of the art new economy infrastructure and cost effectiveness over Manila. Bacolod is a short hour flight away from Manila or Cebu - with dozens of flights daily on Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and other carriers.
