Yaoqi (David) Guo doesn't just love his job – he brings a passion to the gaming world that's rivaled by few in his industry. Starting by selling multimedia management software and developing cybersecurity notifications, it took some time for Guo to find his passion, and he's glad he finally did. Here, we sat down with the gaming mogul to learn more about his work.
What made you decide that you wanted to get into the gaming industry?
As a gamer, I realized that many gaming companies don't make customer experience and satisfaction a priority, and I wanted to change that. At Top Games Inc., we design our games with the user in mind, allowing players to make friends and become a part of gaming communities.
What advice would you give to someone who wanted to move up in the gaming industry?
At TGI, I believe that our employees should work quickly to implement solutions, and I'd give that advice to anyone in the gaming industry. When you see a problem, work fast to find a way to make it better. Don't be afraid to look for issues–identifying areas that can be improved is the only way to create the best customer experience possible.
Talk to us about what you're doing at Top Games Inc.
We got our start in 2015. As an independent mobile app game developer, we're proud to have more than one hundred million players around the world. Currently, we're looking to release three new titles in the coming year. We're proud to both quickly put out new games and keep the customer experience at the forefront of all that we do. Our development team uses science to validate opinions and make decisions that positively affect our customers, and we're proud to use a responsible marketing initiative to make our target market aware of what we have to offer.
What makes a great video game?
We believe that it's key to stay user-oriented, and the game has to be great from the player's perspective, not just from the designer's perspective. This means that while games should be entertaining and fun, they should also provide our users with an experience that's simple and uncomplicated.
You recently won the NYX Game Awards. What has this meant for your company?
We are so honored, and we're crazy excited about what this means for both our company and our customers. This award really goes to our players–without them, we'd be nothing. The NYX Game Award helps to boost our brand's reputation, which makes it more likely that new customers will be interested in checking out what it is that we have to offer. We're taking the momentum from the award and running with it–we're looking forward to creating amazing games that our users love for years to come.
