Once a game concept has been approved based on its prototype (see Part 2), the actual development phase begins and the game assets–sound effects, music, artworks, etc. are identified one by one. As the development progresses, the game assets are also coursed through the proper person/channel. In our case, since we are just a small company, we usually have these assets done by third party development partners like Groovy Audio and Jaybot7 for our sound effects and music needs, and freelance artists like Stefan Hoercsoeky. We don’t have full time musicians or sound engineers but we have full time in-house artists like Erick Garayblas, our Chief Design Architect.

Game assets play a major role on the final game design and lay-out because this is what the players see and interact with. The assets need to be synchronized with events within the game like screen transitions, tap sounds, etc. Game asset creation, depending on the complexity of the game usually takes around 4-5 weeks and we also allot a week more (or two) for revisions as we enter the Beta phase. Check out what happens after the final game is complete on Part 4!

Contrary to what most people think, eSoft Interactive is actually a home-based indie company. Although we have established connections and partnerships outside the country, most of the operations and developments are still done at home. The games that we made (and you have played) were born in the confines of a home situated in the remote areas of Bulacan, a huge province north of Metro Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

It’s not a one-man show though, we have a dedicated team who makes sure that the company lives by its mission and vision. Erick is in charge of operations, support and design works. May and Tim are both focused on programming, design and development. Ben is our porting guru. Taylor handles all web-related stuff. From time to time, we also acquire the services of Stefan (artworks), Sherwin (artworks), Yannis (Sounds and music) and Jason (Sounds and music).

Over the years, the team’s goal was to always start small and dream big. We deeply prioritize our customers and our objective is to create high-quality games and interactive applications which people will enjoy. Rest assured, we will continue to develop engaging and fun games for your mobile device in the years to come! eSoft Interactive has been around for 5 years running now and we never would have gotten here if it weren’t for YOUR support. Thank you!
