Mostly about programming stuff. My native is Russian.
I’ve worked at Gaijin Entertaiment

I’ve started at 2008, at the beginning of the second wave of ex-USSR gamedev (after 2007-“industrion in the dark” period), and create games for iPhone/iPad platform almost from the very beginning. I made several published shareware windows games, and several ios/android games with proprietary engine (manually ported from cross-platform windows/next-gen consoles engine) with a small team.
