The ability to chase money is common in todays society. Everyone is looking for the very next get rich quick schemes. Skills and traits can land you the jobs that you dream about to make great money. Money is the driver of most choices in the world. But what if you say no to the money. Instead, say yes to the grind, the long road, the bad days and try to chase your dreams.
The entrainment industry is a money making industry. The video game industry especially. Every young programmers dream that wants to work in the video game industry is to work for a big named studio. Studios like Treyarch developing the next generation of first person shooters to Ubisoft creating the next great open world. For Forest Willard, Marcus Bromander and Amy Liu, this was not the case.
These creators had different plans. They had a love for the ideology process for creating games that are small but entertaining to the users. They wanted to add their own spin on what a video game could be. Remotely meeting, Marcus Bromander brought these three creators together after they all graduated from Oregon State and founder there small indie video game company InnerSloth in 2015. They decided that it was their goal to create a video game their way.
This small indie company had very small success through the first four years. They traveled the country to video game conventions such as PAX where they could see what other small creators were trying to create. This was a huge source of inspiration. From 2015 to 2019 they were able to have some small success in the games that they created. Most small indie games sold for cheap and it get their company going. This included some games such as a 2018 creation Among Us. You may have heard of it. In 2020 Among Us is the most downloaded game and is up for awards such as Game of the Year. A small video game company, founded on ideals that 3 people wanted to bring back fun to video games and do it in a unique way, now have created the #1 video game in the world. As of September 16th the game have 95 million downloads worldwide. This was truly pure innovation of simplest and passionable form.
This is incredible information! Isn’t it amazing how small steps can suddenly become massive leaps towards success? All it takes is persistence and drive to get you to where you want to go. They probably had countless moments when together thought they would never make it big. Little did they know they would go on to create one of the most popular, most downloaded, and most well-known mobile video games the world has seen thus far. Putting passion to action can lead to great things, and for these three guys, they were blessed enough to see their passion create a prosperous reality for themselves.
It is nice to see an iPhone game get recognition. It was creative and brought people together. The concept is awesome and so is this post.
