Our creative team insisted on handcrafted posters everywhere. Think they were worth the effort?

Day 4- Preparing to take off on Flight 777

We're taking it slow today, playing @playRIFSTORM with the community and resolving issues that they find. And didn't realized we hit peak CCU 790, and managed to screenshot the 777 CCU V(- -)

Just a few weeks ago, the game industry was abuzz with a game that had a budget of $400 million, but its peak CCU on Steam only reached 697. I'm not referring anything here, just felt that we're really lucky.

We're lucky to garner immense supports from the community, again, thank YOU very much. Hopefully more gamers able to enjoy RIFTSTORM, and we could pioneer Collaborative Entertainment together.

Hope everyone get a Happy Weekend \(^ ^)/

Day 3 - We made it, 2 years too late?
A Small Tribute to My Late Mom

In 2022, we started working on @playRIFTSTORM. It all began with a small smoke test that hinted a huge opportunity gap to create something huge - Everybody’s no.2 Game (will share later). Around the same time, my mom’s diabetes worsened, leading to regular dialysis. By 2023, she passed away due to kidney failure.

I’ve always been a workaholic, especially when it comes to something I’m passionate about, so my interactions with her were limited. We didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but one thing never changed - she’s the best mom and always be one of my biggest supporter.

One memory that bring me to tears every time: we made a casual two-pair game that became a decent hit in Indonesia. And who sat at the top of the leaderboard? My mom. She spent thousands of hours playing the game, just to support her stubborn son in the best way she can.

Today, RIFTSTORM hit the top of Steam’s Trending Free chart. Against all odds- competing in a tough genre, launching during October packed with major releases, and even forgetting about Steam Fest overlapping- here we are.

My first thought was how much I wanted to share this with my mom, to show her that all the time and effort my friends and I poured building the talent and the ecosystem from scratch in developing country- was worth it. Even though it's still a small milestone objectively, it was monumental coming from where we're from. We did it Mom, part of me wishes that she were here to share the moment.

So here are my takeaways:
- Treasure your time with your parents- you never know.
- Diabetes is a b*tch, please manage your lifestyle, we could do it.
- and When you believe in something, fight for it. Do your best, work your heart out, and somehow, the universe has a strange way to response.

To everyone who continuously supports us, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. m(_ _)m

And last but not least,

Thank You Mom…

Today @playRIFTSTORM Alpha Playtest is live. I'm doing night shift with the team in our office.

I was deeply touch by this scene. So while we're working, our TVs are viewing multiple live streams from streamers all over the world.

This streamer stood out in particular since she really had her fun playing with friends. And we're captivated by her joyful aura. The interesting thing is that they're speaking Portuguese, that I didn't understand at all.

Then I got some stroke of emo feeling, that reminds me why I'm in game industry in the first place. Being able to share the joy to people around the world, and seeing it live in action brought me almost to tears. All the hard works in the past feels worth it seeing her smile.

This playtest is still the beginning of our journey, super thankful to all of the team members continuous efforts, all our partners' backing, and all of the fans unlimited supports.

We'll always pushing forward, to be able to establish Collaborative Entertainment together with you all.

Starting with RIFTSTORM as the everybody's no. 2 to play with friends \(^ ^)/
