It all started when we were visiting Canada. The atmosphere of this beautiful country gave us strengths and inspiration we lacked in our homeland. Anastasia recently left her job (full stack Java developer) and we were full of beans about all the new possibilities she had to explore. Game development was just one of them. Our future was vague and optimistic.
But being away from home, we missed our cats badly and Anastasia came up with the idea to make a game about cats, how important they are in humans' lives and what they really do and mean for people. Regardless of the fact that we both had some game development experience before (as a hobby), we think this moment in Canada was the exact starting point of our game development path.
After we found our new home in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and established our business here, we continued to develop our own games and provide game development services for anyone who's interested. If you wish to cooperate - please, contact us ;)
In 2021 we moved (along with our business) to Longueuil, Quebec. Still doing what we do the best - our own games. Also we received funding from Canada Media Fund to develop a concept of our new game called Edge of Vampires. The concept came out nice but we're still unsure if we move forward with it or not considering the rules of the fund.
Anastasia N., a housewife, A42 Games“Usually I cook, clean and fight depression ;) But in my spare time I'm making games. Which means I'm doing a lot of programming and game design, all the art things and some SFX.”
Mike S., a husband, A42 Games“When Anastasia needs some help - that's when I appear. I can provide her any kind of support from light butt slaps, when she's lacking the enthusiasm, to some programming decisions and game design advices.”
Feature - the Cat, an Overmind, A42 Games“My human slaves frequently forget that they need to work harder to satisfy my needs, so I have to yell and bite to return them from their procrastination.”
