Where it started
In 2012, making video games from Réunion Island was far from obvious: no ecosystem, few role models to follow. Mobile opened a door: small teams could publish worldwide.
The approach
Brought together during our studies at ILOI, we teamed up as Funky Monkey Studios, to ship short games one after another: racing, arcade, sliding. Each title was a way to learn something specific, about controls, the pace of a session, or how to make people want to play again.
What I took from it
A game is judged in the player’s hands, never on paper. Shipping often teaches faster than polishing for a long time.
What exists
- More than ten mobile games released, including Ice Core, Zombeo and Juliet and Shadow Pet.
- More than 300,000 downloads.
