Description: Kaida Games is an applications development company for mobile devices. Current focus is the Apple device market (and hoping to expand to the Android platform one day). The concepts for all applications are created, then documented. Workflows and examples made are also made to assist the the programmers. After that all aspects of production are outsourced under daily supervision and contact to provide a finished project at a fraction of the cost to have it done in house or in North America. At this time I have one application (4 versions) finished. It is available on the Apple App Store, search for iSlack in the app store or get a link off the (URL removed) website. The project was funded in it's entirety by myself. While it might not be a very complex game, many things were learned through the process. With little in the way of advertising funds the first application has returned approximately 20% of it's cost in only six months. At this time with limited personal funds a decision had to be made to spend on advertising of the primary application or use those funds to create a second application. I've chosen to create a second application in hopes that offering branding and personalization of characters inside of the application will provide enough funds to advertise both applications. I've invested a considerable amount of capital (some in trial and error) to put a solid (outsourced) team in place to provide me with the best service. Over 30 companies were given tests or bit projects to weed out those with less then desirable skills. At this time I feel that I have access to the resources needed to create anything I can imagine at costs only slightly out of personal reach. Should you have any question, comments or suggestions please feel free to contact me. Thanks.
