At Project Quik, we're on a mission to revolutionize online entertainment by connecting people with similar interests through gaming. We understand the passion and creativity that indie game developers pour into their projects, and we're here to provide the tools and support to help bring those visions to life.

The Indie Game Landscape

The indie game industry is a significant force, currently representing 31% of the game industry revenue. However, the online gaming space, which offers consistent revenue through in-game transactions, is largely dominated by big game studios. While success stories like Minecraft and League of Legends exist, they are truly one in a thousand.

The Challenges Faced by Indie Developers

Developing online games, especially multiplayer ones, can be incredibly challenging and often discouraging. Our research, based on interviews with polytechnic and university indie game developers, reveals significant hurdles:

• 89% found it challenging to create online games, especially multiplayer.
• 25% gave up on creating online games after experimenting with them.
• 75% felt that existing cloud platforms required extensive manual work to suit their needs.

These challenges stem from cloud platforms often being designed for large studios, leading to steep learning curves and numerous points of failure for indie developers.
