What inspired you to start your business?
Most founders shouldn't or can't create venture multiplayer games. I've bruteforced every minute of the last decade obsessing about becoming world class at it. First with Gamelynx (YC & Riot backed mobile esport game) and then at VALORANT (design lead on some characters & onboarding). Double Dusk is the culmination of my earned insight and relentlessness.
