Two years ago tinyBuild released Divide By Sheep, a dark humor mobile game created by Bread Team — a duo of game developers that lived on the Ukrainian/Russian near Donetsk, on opposite sides of the border. The game did very well on mobile, and currently holds a 95% positive rating on Steam. tinyBuild loved working with the team, and we immediately started a Game #2. That game is now Phantom Trigger, and it’s coming out next week.
tinyBuild says that the development of the game was difficult is an understatement. Aside from a much bigger scope than the first game, war broke out in the region. Victor, the game’s programmer, moved his family to East Ukraine mid-development. While Denis, the artist, moved to Saint Petersburg, and tinyBuild has been working with them and supporting through the whole process, acting as a producer.
