Posted by pierson

Join us this Thursday in TAG at 5pm for a special preview of Jongwoo Kim’s forthcoming GDC presentation, “Two Screens: From Mobile to Steam with Shattered Planet!” Jongwoo will be discussing how Kitfox Games, a small four-person Montreal studio, was able to take a mobile free-to-play roguelike, Shattered Planet, and successfully launch it on Steam as a premium game. In hearing about Kitfox Games’ design and development process, attendees will learn about how small mobile indie teams can minimize the time spent on transitioning to Steam and have a successful launch.
Jongwoo Kim is a Co-Founder and the Gameplay Programmer at Kitfox Games. Currently, he is working on the combat system of Moon Hunters – a Kickstarted co-op Action-RPG, inspired by Secret of Mana and Zelda: Four Swords. Given his obsession with time travel, transhumanism and procedural narrative systems, Jongwoo is quite obviously a cyborg from a dystopian future.
