A little bit about myself

My name is Sakis, I'm an indie games developer from Greece. I started game development as a hobby in early 2005 with Game Maker. I was one of the first developers back then who give more focus on 3D games using Game Maker (which is mostly for 2D games).
Most people may know me from Game Maker Community (with username sakisa) as the creator of the games Crimelife, Guns & Spurs, Mythology, Super Smash Battle and many more.
Now I'm using Unity3D to make games for iOS and Android. My most recent game 'Angel in Danger' which is a 3D platformer is published by Crescent Moon Games for iOS and Android.

In my real job I work as a web developer for a company here in Greece. I know C#, Javascript, html, css, php. I also work as a graphics artist and I also design the graphics for my own games (2D and 3D).
Today game development is my second job, still with the same passion and excitement.

Crimelife 4 gets its final name - GUNSHOT CITY



Forget about the title "Crimelife 4". The final name of the game is now Gunshot City.
It's a whole new direction to the open world sandbox game that the original has been and thousands of people around the world have enjoyed all these years.
So what is this game about?
It's an open world sandbox game where the player has unlimited choices to play as he likes. There is no scripted scenario or any specific story. It's all about the fun you can get from an open world game.
Your character can choose how he earns his in game money, he can work his way by doing various jobs to make his money legally or he can become a criminal by making robberies or illegal races.
Some of the activities and the various jobs you can do in Gunshot City are:
Taxi driver, paramedic, pizza delivery, truck driver, firefighter and many more.
I'm planning to include all kinds of vehicles. From cars, bikes, bicycles, boats, helicopters, planes, military vehicles and more.

There is still a lot of work to do but together we can turn this game to something really great. It is developed in Unity3D and it's focused for mobile platforms in mind, with low-poly graphics and carefully designed environments. It will also be released on Steam too for PC. 

Gunshot City is developed for iOS, Android and Steam platforms and it's planned for release some time in 2017.

Can't wait to play the game?
Closed Beta will be available exclusively for Android users so stay in touch for an announcement on when you can register for the closed beta.
