hi there
I build communities players want to stay in.
Indie teams usually reach out to me when a game is close to release and nobody is running the community. I’ve helped release two games in the Philippines at VNGGames, and I started Blooing in 2018 to cover the region’s indie scene. I’ll build your player community from the first follower, and if you already have one, I’ll look at what’s working and tighten the rest.
