Description

Ascanio Entertainment is the first PC and console game developing company in Cyprus, developed and published Crash Force (PC & Xbox One).

History

Our team consists of six people; three programmers, two digital media designers, and one community manager. The founders of Ascanio Entertainment were two programmers named George Neokleous, George Tziazas and a digital media designer Demetris Markitanis.

George Neokleous, one of the programmers, has 3 years of experience as a programmer- business analyst and 2 years of experience as a game developer.

George Tziazas, our other programmer has 3 years of experience as a programmer – business analyst, one year of experience as a team lead programmer and two years of experience as a game developer.

They have both worked with Center of Games Studies of the European University of Cyprus to develop numerous games some of which have been the base of further university research for people with mental disabilities, while others have been exhibited by the Cypriot government

Our digital media designer Demetris Markitanis has 3 years of experience as a digital media designer. Himself has worked on serious games that involve aiding people within the Autism Spectrum Syndrome for improving their hand-eye coordination.

Everything started when a game development project was given to Ascanio's founders, by their professor while they were studying at European University.

Their first game named Car Wars, which was the founding stone in inspiring their first game renamed Crash Force. Through the development of Car Wars, they fell in love with game developing and decided to start their own company named Ascanio Entertainment.
