A jack of all trades, Iyad has worn many different hats in life. He's been an aircraft engineer, a community manager, and even a chef.

Ronald Halabi
Developer
My name is Ronald H. I am a hardcore gamer who loves to play survival games. I am developing this game because I wanted to play the perfect survival game. after years of playing computer games, it became clear to me that most games are being developed with rules in a way set in stone, making it very difficult and sometimes impossible to accommodate what the community wants. I decided to change the rules, I want this game to be developed by the gamers community, I designed the game systems to be very flexible in order to easily integrate what players want in the game. it's about time to change the rules, I think games today, are dictated by the financial side of the development, join me to make this game, the survival game we wanted to play. I think games and gamers today deserve more!
