Description
We make mobile games with a focus on real-time interactive 2D/3D graphics, music, storyline and above all, fun.
History
FoundingSweaty Chair Studio was founded in 2013 by a group of passionate and creative people. With the aim to create innovative, unique, and fun mobile games. We came from various specialized fields such as digital arts, game design, and web development. We are also on the lookout for fresh graduates and interns who majors in game development and digital media to join our growing family.
Getting KnownWe started our first game "Go2School" and launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding project by the end of 2013. It has caught a lot of attention that helped us secure investments so we were able to release the game by 2014. We support the Gaming Community by constantly participating in local game jams. Three of our games were conceived on Game Jams. First is "Rainmaker - The Beautiful Flood" and it was published in 2014. In the following year, our second game created from Global Game Jam calls "No Humanity", which received the Best Game and Best Audio award. Both Rainmaker and No Humanity were featured multiple times on the Apple App Store. Furthermore, No Humanity has accumulated more than 1.5 million downloads all over the world. In 2017 Our third game born from the game jam is "3DTD: Chicka Invasion". Again, it has been a feature in both Apple App Store and Google Play and gained a huge amount of players in Asian countries.
Recent and FutureWith the advent of Augmented Reality(AR) in 2017, we have envisioned that it is the future of gaming and by combining Multiplayer we will bring the fun on the go. In the foreseeable future we will be focusing on AR, multiplayer casual games, and as always, we will continue to develop quality games that will bring joy, fun, and excitement to everyone. Meanwhile, we are also very interested in the blockchain technology, which we believe that it will be a world-changer in coming years. Currently, there are not many games and technologies connecting game and blockchain technology, and able to bring the best gaming experience to players. We are very confident to become the first in the market.
