Serhii Komar

Serhii Komar is a self-taught game developer and entrepreneur. His journey began with a programming manual and a desire to create games. His first project, a mobile puzzle game, showed that game development could be more than a hobby. After an early studio failure, he decided to commit fully, selling his apartment to fund a new studio and working from his office to save costs. This decision led to a key shift in strategy, moving toward free-to-play games. A publishing deal followed, allowing his studio to generate steady revenue and build a foundation for growth. Over time, he founded multiple game studios, led teams, and launched commercially successful titles. His experience covers everything from small-scale development to working with publishers, managing monetization, and scaling games for larger audiences. Beyond development, he speaks at conferences, universities, and podcasts, sharing insights on game business strategies and sustainable development. He also mentors indie developers, helping them navigate the challenges of building and growing a studio. Outside work, he spends time with his newborn son and enjoys discussing game mechanics with his wife, who grammar. He believes patience, adaptability, and learning from challenges are key to long-term success. Serhii welcomes connections with developers and entrepreneurs. He shares insights through a newsletter, engages in discussions on LinkedIn, and provides industry updates on Twitter. He is also open to conversations with those seeking advice on game development and business strategies.
