Stavros Pilatis is a professional software engineer and long time gamer who has recently decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a game developer. He just released his first game Cute Cat Splat on Android. We have conducted an interview with him. How long did you take to develop your Android game 'Cute Cat Splat'? From concept to release it took about 4 weeks. My intention was to start with something simple so I could give the life-cycle a run through to better understand it. I managed to speed through a lot of development using a development environment on my mobile phone (AIDE) which allowed me to continue coding when on the move. That proved an invaluable tool in keeping me on track amidst a busy home and work lifestyle. Now that you have completed 'Cute Cat Splat', what is on your 'Wish List'? I've already started on my next two projects, a side-scroller called “Eo's Adventure” and an as yet to be named puzzler. I also plan ...

The Brofessor App is initially developed to help Pokémon GO players to win battles & battle more gyms in a significant shorter timeframe. This all to maximize their experience points and enable them to catch more Pokémon. My generation grew up with Pokémon and when Pokémon GO released, it was something nostalgic. We were finally able to become a Pokémon Trainer. But to become “the very best” we need to level up. Currently, this is only possible by capturing Pokémon in the wild and fighting Gyms in order to c...

Richard Janutka just quit job teaching (stats and physic) to go full-time home school teacher and indie artist. Dueling Samurai has been his epic mission - their current 100% funded status is due to an old-school strategy: hitting the pavement. We have conducted an interview with Richard about their project. How do you Integrate digitally to your game community/players who are online? Before our campaign started we discovered Tabletopia. In just three days we were able to upload our entire game, and opened up a free exploration/play testing area for people to use. I would recommend this for any game developer and/or Kickstarter project. This digital integration of our game has allowed potential backers to fully explore the game. Since we funded in 2 weeks I can only assume that our digital game on Tabletopia helped with the success of this project. How does playing this boardgame "Dueling Samurai" enhance the cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue with...

We play the games of our childhood! Anything retro and somewhat pixelated and it's good for us. The reason we choose to play retro is firstly because we enjoy playing them, secondly because many people love retro gaming and we want to create an exciting experience and show full completions of games people maybe haven't seen before, or been able to complete themselves. How different and unique are your videos and how do you draw your target audiences' attention? We bounce off of each other very well and genuinely find the games fun to play! People watching us over the last 2 weeks (...

What is your secret to overcome the great discomfort in uncertainty? A good question, when I first became uncertain about achieving the goals I desired in life, I was told one line from a contact in the industry " If you feel negative, you will never notice or fulfil oppourtunities, if you create a dream, you'll build a vision " It took me a while to understand this but in the end I realised to think positive and not expect the future to just be given to me, but to make a goal on what I wanted my future to be and what I want to do in later life and work towards this. Yes, you will always experience discomfort and uncertainty in your life and the best way I feel personally to prepare for this is to expect both positives and negatives.
