We wanted to create a game like a playground, not just a fun slide.

[About the Developer]

Sharing the universal language of “fun”

SHIFTRICK is a new start-up company founded in March, 2018.The biggest reason of founding this company starts from a thought of “We only live once”. This led me to chase after my dream of establishing a company with these values:

“A company where you can go in with excitement every day”

“A company where you work with people you like and work on what you love”.

Starting members of SHIFTRICK have an average of 11 years of experience going back to the early 2000s: from working for a large publishing game company to a game developing company. We have been launching and providing service for 15 PC game titles in various countries.

We have different experiences from game development, QA to service, Maketing. We felt the possibility and potential of the global game market. Our final goal is to share the universal language of “fun” with players and communicate it through fresh game contents and great service quality from our years of experience and Know-how from our time in the game industry.

There is no “end” in the contents & entertainment industry where we provide joy to people. People who create content must continuously think 24/7 and 365 days- until we dream about it. We have to give everything from ‘our life’ to focus on it. Moreover, we have to ‘enjoy’ our work first in order to give joy to others. Finding the work we want to do and be able to focus on it. Approaching every work efficiently. Respecting each other and working with people who like each other. Because of our work, many users enjoy ‘our product and service’. The positive and repetitive cycle of ‘Proactive’, ‘joy’ and ‘efficiency ‘is the management philosophy of SHIFTRICK.
