Alex Lu is a renowned light novel author and has been honored with prestigious international awards. With around 30 published works, Lu boasts a wealth of creative experience and a strong presence in the market. Since venturing into game development in 2020, Lu’s debut game, “Rail of M\u00f6bius,” a text adventure game, has earned overwhelmingly positive reviews on STEAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please provide us with a brief bio of yourself and your background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a well-known light novel author and a proud recipient of a renowned international awards. I have published around 30 works, possessing extensive creative experience and market-validated strength. Since 2020, I have been dedicated to game development, with my first game “Rail of M\u00f6bius” being a text adventure game that has received overwhelmingly positive reviews on STEAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What led you to become a Game Developer \/ Marketer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a novelist, I have published more than twenty commercial works. Despite my efforts, the barriers of language and geography remain significant challenges, preventing my stories from reaching a wider international audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, I turned to the creative form of game development, resolved to move beyond the boundaries of novel writing into the realm of game design. This transition has opened a new chapter for my stories, allowing them to captivate a larger readership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. What is your role in the company, and wha traits should a game developer\/marketing professional possess to be successful in their role<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my multi-faceted role as a producer, scriptwriter, and game balancing designer, communication is vital, alongside professional skills. I must translate my ideas into clear instructions and engage effectively with team members from diverse fields to ensure our project progresses in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. Tell us about more your studio\/company.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are PHOSEPO, an independent game development team. We have released a great deal of game projects which includes: “Rail of M\u00f6bius”, an adventure game with multiple endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently dedicated to developing a new game titled “Project: AHNO’s Ark.” It is a unique Japanese-style tactical RPG game, and it is expected to be released on Steam in early 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5.<\/strong> What is your own definition of a great game?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe an excellent game is one where players feel a sense of reward after playing ; achieving satisfaction from investing time in character development, and gaining a sense of accomplishment from devising strategies to overcome difficult challenges. Even without astonishing graphics or technical prowess, as long as the game leaves players feeling that their time was well spent without regret, that constitutes an excellent game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This game merges elements of tactical role-playing game, Go, and introduces some light Roguelite features. Players will need to make decisions \u2026
