Serhii Komar builds games the hard way—by doing. He taught himself to code with a worn programming book and a stubborn drive to make things people want to play. His first mobile puzzle game didn’t just prove he could finish something—it showed that a hobby could grow into a company. When his first studio went under, he didn’t fold. He sold his apartment, moved into his office, and went all-in on a second chance. That gamble paid off. Shifting to free-to-play opened the door to a publishing deal, steady revenue, and a path to long-term growth. Since then, Serhii has launched multiple game studios, scaled teams, and shipped hits. He’s navigated publisher deals, monetization systems, and the chaos of turning a scrappy prototype into something that can hold its own on the charts. He’s worked lean, built big, and learned to survive in a fast-moving industry. He’s also shared what he’s learned—on stage, in classrooms, podcasts, and in one-on-one mentorships with up-and-coming devs. These days, you’ll find him split between parenting a newborn, arguing about design balance with his wife (a game programmer, too), and writing about game strategy and studio life on LinkedIn and Twitter. He believes resilience, curiosity, and blunt honesty are the best tools a developer can have—and he’s always up for a good conversation about games or business.
