As promised, the Quiz Quest demo is now fully updated with all of the shiny new features I mentioned in the previous post. Be warned, some reconnection issues may still occur. They are our top priority for the next batch of tech improvements. In the meantime, give the demo a play with your friends …
The latest batch of tech improvements was delivered by our developer last week. The gameplay and UI have been improved immeasurably and the weapons are now fully functional in the quiz rounds. Quiz Quest is really beginning to look and feel like the game I envisioned way back in 2020. Watch this sp…
As a new studio with no backing from a publisher or investors (yet!) we are having to self-fund our game. As such, we are trying to save money by doing everything ourselves where possible. One thing that I was not expecting to have to do was write two thousand quiz questions!
The questions for Quiz …
Since presenting at EGX last October, we have been working towards completing the ‘Minimum Viable Product’ version of Quiz Quest. Our developer is hoping to be done with the latest batch of tech improvements in the next week or so, so an exciting update to the gameplay is coming soon. The biggest i…
In June 2023, Michael and I attended a UKIE networking event in London. The talks were interesting and the free pizza and wine were a nice bonus, but the best thing was running into Elaine Dowman from Barclays with whom we had connected at the London Games Festival the previous year.

We hadn’t made it into the official selection, but we weren’t really expecting to because the game was in such an early stage of development. However, attending the festival meant that we would have ac…
In the previous post, I mentioned that our first goal was to create a ‘Minimum Viable Product’ (MVP) that would have everything necessary to demonstrate the core concepts and mechanics of Quiz Quest to potential investors and early playtesters. At first we were developing the game for remote team-b…
To get advice on how best to create a system for Quiz Quest that would simultaneously handle presenting and scoring I got in touch with our original developer, Nate, who was the go-to guy for all things computers when I was at uni. Together with Michael, we hashed out ideas for the prototype and la…
Having decided to develop Quiz Quest as a game for remote team-building, I got to work writing a proper script with a broader appeal. A ‘sword and sorcery’ fantasy setting felt like the right choice as it is rich with character archetypes and story tropes that can be humorously adapted to incorpora…
