A Closer Look At TinyShot Game Developer Allaith “ZAX” Hammed – Gaming News

 

[AdSense-A]

Meet Allaith “Zax” Hammed, a kid with a huge love for gaming, which grew up in crisis-shaken Syria. Fortunately his family was able to move to the Netherlands where he was able to dedicate his passion into the creation of games.

Among his favorite developers, Edmund McMillen must be named because of the great talent of combining dark undertones and subjects with great humor, creating uplifting yet emotional gaming experiences for demanding players.

In Zax’s own words: “I had some tough times and my way of dealing with them was sitting in my room and create something rather than go outside. Because I really liked The Binding of Isaac & Super Meat Boy back when it came out, I took inspiration from both of them, and what came out was the prototype that you guys saw at the indie expo – and it’s been a fun journey since then 😀

As for my age, I started working on Tinyshot when I was 17 and now I’m 19.

Overall the creation of TinyShot and releasing an actual game is the most motivating and interesting thing I’ve done. 10 yr old me would probably be amazed XD”
