Domo

Founder, Sanctum Games

Domo is the founder and director of Sanctum Games. Having worked as a game designer in the industry in the past, he was inspired during the process and formed a few ideas about making games. In order to prove that his idea would actually be viable in the market, he started to develop his own game off-work. 

After more than a year's hard work, he launched Eternal Senia on PC and it turned out to be well-received both domestically and internationally. Half a year later, it was also released onto Steam and got "overwhelmingly positive" reviews to this date. In the light of that, Domo follows up his project with a sequel on mobile, Eternal Senia: Hydrangea After the Rain, venturing into the realm of freemium, more commercially-oriented indie games. 

As the completion of Eternal Senia: Hydrangea After the Rain drew near, he left his former company and is determined to finish the game.

We will talk about: 

  1. The design of the game's business model 
  2. The actual performance of the said business model
  3. DAU and Retention analysis
