The founder of Targem Games told about the history of the studio
Stanislav Skorb, in a conversation with us, covered in detail all the important stages that his studio has gone through since its foundation.
The conditions were bonded. The developer received a percentage of sales only after the advance issued by the publisher paid off three times. As a result, few people made a profit (only the most cunning managed).

The features of the development of a tank strategy for mobile were shared by HeroCraft
Ilya Denbrov, game designer of the real-time mobile strategy Armor Age: Tank Wars, explained how the studio is working on the project.
We work with the team remotely, completely in English. This significantly slows down the work process, because the language is not native to anyone: of course, a lot of time is spent on communication, drafting documentation and setting tasks. But this is an unavoidable evil. General chat, SVN, online documents and task-tracking system, sharpened for Agile - an integral part of our developer's everyday life.
