The Founder’s Journey – Reigniting the Spirit of Gaming
The story behind Otisco Studios begins with a simple yet profound love for video games. From my very first experience with Pokemon Red on the Game Boy Advance, I was hooked. That early spark of curiosity faded over time, but it reignited with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The community, the endless replayability of multiplayer, and the joy of sharing those moments with friends became something I couldn’t get enough of. There was a simplicity to those games—they were designed with one goal: to maximize fun. It wasn’t about flashy marketing or pushing microtransactions; it was about providing players with an experience they could get lost in, together.
Gaming was, at its core, about social connections, competition, and enjoyment. We’d spend countless nights playing, not because we had to, but because we loved it. However, over time, that spark began to fade as the industry shifted towards money-driven tactics—paid DLC, loot boxes, paid cosmetics, and unfinished games—seemingly sacrificing the essence of gaming for profit.
Otisco Studios was founded to bring that spark back. It’s about focusing on creating meaningful experiences that prioritize fun, community, and genuine connections over profits. My mission is to create games that are built from the ground up with the player’s enjoyment at the heart, rekindling the magic that made gaming so special in the first place. It’s time to bring games back to their roots, where the joy of play is what matters most.
