From Stage to Screen
- Remy Siu and Pinky Li, from Sunset Visitor, had little game dev experience before creating 1000xResist.
- They transitioned from performing arts due to the pandemic's impact on touring.
Bridging Art Forms

- They embraced this challenge, aiming to bring a similar experimental approach to game development.
