Career

The block-based programming language, MIT App Inventor, was the first means to develop applications for DVloper. His first known game was published on December 23, 2011, called Barguy (Girl Seducer). Up until June, 2013, three more games and one financial app were published. At the time, DVloper's development efforts did not receive much recognition, and had extremely low download counts.

One of DVloper's games, called Slendrina, was published on November 4th, 2013. Its gameplay is reminiscent to that of Slender: The Eight Pages. Similarly to it, the game is in the survival horror subgenre, which ended up being the one followed by DVloper's next games. A sequel to the game was published the following few months, called Slendrina: The Cellar, which established the Slendrina series. The series gathered decent popularity, lasting for 10 entries in total. All games included in it were developed using the Unity engine, which has since been the one in use.

Another of DVloper's games, called Granny, was published on November 24th, 2017. The game became a big trend in the gaming community, and saw much popularity; many YouTubers have made let's play videos on it, and the game gained a big fan-base. Granny kept receiving numerous updates, expanding the gameplay, and eventually a port to Windows operating systems was published on Steam. Merchandise began to be sold in physical stores and partnered online shops. With time, the game's popularity diminished and the development stagnated. The game received a sequel on September 6th, 2019, establishing the Granny series. The third and probably currently the latest game in the series was released on June 3rd, 2021.

In one tweet, Keplerians Horror Games wrote to DVloper about cooperation, but he did not respond, and cooperation between them never happened.
