Prior to starting this company, Christopher was a freelancer working in the PC and console business. But his major desire was to have his own company. He says, \u201cFounding this company fourteen years ago to develop games with my two colleagues was an adventure that I am still enjoying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Market Awareness is Key<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Christopher is a heavy gamer. He believes it is only possible to develop great games if you are spending your own time playing on different platforms. But he also believes that the right work-life balance is important, not only for him, but for the entire HandyGames team, so he spends much of his free time with his three children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So Big, So Fast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>His feelings about the HandyGames team are clear as he describes his pride in the company and the products they have produced since it was established. He says, \u201cWe produced so many products worldwide that have attracted millions and millions of players around the globe. I am enjoying the years; the time flies by way too fast.\u201d He claims every new title is like his baby, so he now has a very large family! He is also very proud that the company has been self-financed and independent for so long.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gamesauce.org\" target=\"_blank\">gamesauce.org<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uP1w4fW71GI&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;20&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;2866&#8243; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221;][testimonial_slider][testimonial title=&#8221;Testimonial&#8221; id=&#8221;1409233963-1-5&#8243; name=&#8221;Christopher Kassulke&#8221; quote=&#8221;It is only possible to develop great games if you are spending your own time playing on different platforms.&#8221;] Click the edit button to add your testimonial.
