Thank you for Visiting!
I'm a Solo Developer from Jakarta, Indonesia. And i just released an Adventure, Story, and ClashRoyale-TowerDefense game, named Project Reign.
Actually, i have not planned to be a game developer (even i'm graduated from Game Design Major, lol). Previously i worked at a Advertising Company, and can't code, make some art, and so many more. I'm just a man who loved very much playing game.
But, when the Fire Nation Covid-19 Attack, i lost my job, and i really confuse how to find a job in a pandemic. Just one day before i lost my job, i see a advertising on Facebook, about how to make a game.
And i my thought said "Why didn't you make a game?", but i even can't code!. "Learn it" said my thought. Okay then, i buy a course from udemy, and step by step i learn a code, and started a project.
First of it, i planned to make a platformer game. I Learn how to use illustrator, learn color pallete (even though i still bad at it).
But, for a solo developer, i'm always had overheat, because coding is easier from drawing. Then, i just found a Bolt Action from Unity, i bought it for $65 and it's make me more confuse. So i refunded it, and find an alternative. Thank you Playmaker.
Two month i build a platformer game, but unfortunately it's don't get a good response. And a CEO from Indonesian Indie Game Developer said, make a easy game.
And voila, I made a Project Reign, my first official and serious game making. it's take 2 and half month to build the game from zero. And Project Reign is heavily inspired by a Game named "Yes, Your Grace".
After i almost finished my project, my Girlfriend ask me, "What is your studio name?". Oh my God! i forget it. And i don't know what is my studio name? And after i selecting my Studio Name, by the philosophy, vision or mission. I founded Project Studio 26 (Horaay!)
When i made this game, i really confuse what is the name of this game. And i watch Project Power on Netflix, it's give me an idea. "Okay let's give my game name Project Reign".
I always have an insomnia when i thinking about my future. And i think that all my game share a same universe (Like Pixar Universe) and it's gave me an another idea.
Why we don't just named all our game started as a "Project"? Good idea i think. Maybe like Project Duty ( a game like Battlefield, or Call of Duty), or Project Carnival (Mario Party(?)) etc.
And i decided to make the game using Project Name, and give the alphabet A to Z and share a different style or genre of the game. But share a same universe.
And voila. Project Studio 26 is Born!
For you who bought my First Game. THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE MY FINANCIAL HEROES!!! I LOVE YOU!!! And i really hope that the name or philosophy i made, it's doesn't just in a one game, and stopped.
I hope my studio can be AAA Game Developer and make it big than ever.
For you who support me, i promised that i can't let you down, always believeing in me, and us (when i officially have an employee). And we will not waste your money at all.
Thank you.
Regards,
Hadi.
