Andrey Pryakhin, CEO of Kefir, shared with App2Top.ru thoughts about the most important events of the year.
Event of the Year
Announcement of the app store for Apple TV. An interesting new market for developers. Very suitable for our new products.
Trend of the year
In my opinion, there was no new trend in 2015.
Achievement of the Year
It’s nice to see the success of colleagues from Vizor Interactive, Plarium, Nexters in the Facebook top. On the mobile market, I would like to mention the guys from Playrix. And, of course, my good friends Anton and Max, who hold the leadership in our social networks with their mega-popular product “Kiss and Meet”.
“Battle for the Throne” by NextersDisappointment of the Year
Google Chrome’s refusal to support NPAPI and, as a result, Unity Web Player. At the moment, this was the only way to create complex and beautiful games for the web.
From the personal: Leonid Sirotin promised to come to visit for the New Year, but apparently he will not come. I hope to influence our upcoming meeting through media pressure.
Game of the Year
“The Witcher 3”. The best RPG at the moment with the best presentation of the plot.
Year for the company
For us, the main event of this year was the appearance of the studio division in St. Petersburg.
All year we have been developing new games and successfully launching them in a soft lunch. In addition, we are successfully developing previously released projects. When exploring new markets and developing bold solutions, it is very important to work together with talented and enthusiastic people. I was lucky in this regard, and I am grateful to my team for everything we did in 2015.
