Creative Director @ Acid Rainbow

Acid Rainbow is a dynamic and innovative game development studio dedicated to creating immersive and engaging gaming experiences. Our team is passionate about pushing the boundaries of creativity and technology to deliver games that captivate players worldwide. Currently working on the FPS game for PC, BADMAD ROBOTS.

Game Lore In a near future, robots have replaced humans in various tasks but, like any machinery, they malfunction. Robots deemed faulty for not following initial instructions were sent to a large dump outside a major city. Over time, these exiled robots formed communities, repairing each other and building shelters. As robot numbers grew, they clashed with city inhabitants, who eventually left, leaving the city to be ruled by robot gangs.

This dynamic, chaotic world features robots endlessly fighting for amusement or trivial perks, like beer barrels. With dulled senses of pain, they take reckless risks, enjoying the chaos more than the outcome. These lively, emotional robots were exiled for being too expressive and now thrive in their noisy, vibrant community.
