David Hung began his solo app development journey back in 2011 before releasing his games under the name Cyclops Studio. From there, he created a wonderful alternate universe where goblins rule the world.

From the very first game Goblin’s Shop to the more recent Goblin’s Caravan, Cyclops Studio has made retro pixelated graphics one of its key calling cards. Goblins manage stores, build weapons and trade around the world, all while defending themselves against human intruders.

• Are weaker monsters only good for training targets? Can goblins ever be heroes? Hung looks to break these creatures out of their stereotypical pigeonholes by combining creative game designs with his own experience. His message? Even a tiny cog in the machine can make a huge difference.

• Humans are the enemies in Cyclops Studio’s games. After all, the monsters only do what they do for survival, yet they’re relentlessly hunted by humans. Change your perspective, and what seems like justice might look like something else entirely.

• The same goblin is the star in each of Cyclops Studio’s works, just in different settings. Stay tuned to find out what they’ll get up to next.
