Today I’m thrilled to be joined by Ella Harris and Kenny Huang, Co-Founders of TinyRex, which is an extremely talented indie game studio that’s bringing a unique perspective to narrative-driven idle games. This tiny team packs a huge punch, as they bring years of commercial success in the video game and social casino industry to their mission, which is to create mobile gaming content with partners around the world, and, as Kenny puts it, “crafting small, cozy games that our players will love.”

While the games may feel small and cozy, there is some serious innovation happening here, as the team created their own idle-merge framework by blending the static nature of idles games with the dynamic experience of merge games, which led to the launch of their debut game, Wizard of Oz: Idle Merge, which achieved a combined 4.8 star rating on the app store!

It’s quite a story, so joining me again this week to discuss how this innovation was translated into meaningful capital is Boast AI’s own Technical Solutions Manager, Aliya Amershi! Before we kick off with our guests, Aliya, welcome back to the show, how is it going and could you provide a quick intro for listeners who haven’t caught your previous episode with Natureblocks?
