Mario Mihokovic is the co-founder of Overseer Games. Professionally, he is a history teacher but ventured into game development 15 years ago. Gaming has been his closest passion for as long as he can remember, so being involved in game development has been a dream come true for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

My name is Mario Mihokovic, and I am co-founder of our studio. By profession I’m a history teacher, but entered game development 15 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaming itself has been my closest passion for as long as I remember, so being part of game development has been pretty much a dream coming true. It’s amazing to witness the awesomeness of games from both perspectives, as a consumer and a creator at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Primarily love for games and technology. Most of my dearest memories came from amazing gaming experiences, and I was always drawn to creativity of making games. Everything can be achieved, limitations are non-existent, it’s the best environment you can imagine!<\/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

My current role is CEO and head of marketing\/community. In my experience, success in this industry comes from passion and love of games. Games are a very specific product that brings most value in hardly explainable, emotional experience level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That can’t be quantified or expressed logically, and development is often long and gruesome. Going through all that without high level of personal investment and passion is very hard. You need to love games, understand games and connect to players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Overseer Games is the second studio under our company. It has 10 members, half of them are industry veterans with 15-20 years of experience. Our main focus is design and creation of city building and strategy games. We are located in Zagreb, Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

A game that provides incredible enjoyment, allows for exploration of impossible scenarios, and consumes my entire free time. In my view, the experiences that games offer are like movies taken to the next level, and I love immersing myself in such exhilarating sensations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
