Something That Makes Zy Universe Unique
Last week, we talked about our level design process and showed off some gifs that showcased it. This week, we’re taking a step back from talking about the nitty gritty of the game’s development to tell you all something that sets the project and the team behind Zy Universe apart.
Back in January of 2017, Chris and Andy started the project with a concept and aspirations to make a game, but they had no money or tools to help get development started. Before they put themselves out there to see whose interest they could peak, they first decided to take a few foundational steps. They started a LLC, structured themselves as a legitimate business, trademarked Zy Universe, and set out with the intention to undergo this project as a “revshare.” Meaning that the developers, artist, writers, Chris, and Andy won’t get paid until there is money coming in from actually selling the game. This project really was and still is about the passion and drive to create a great game first and foremost!

They started reaching out to people online and posted a few ‘help wanted’ ads on various sites. Before long, they started to grab the attention of a handful of talented individuals who also had a passion for gaming and an aspiration to make something to call their own.
Fast forward to today, and this project is still running on the steam of sweat and tears from the 15 souls that make up the team! It’s not every day you come across a game that’s made from a revshare, and this is just a small part of what makes Zy Universe unique.
Just for fun, here were some early logos that were considered after the name Zy Universe was locked in.
