Games worth
staying up for.

I The lobby

It started with a draft.

Islamabad, Pakistan. Two computer science students at the same university, two semesters apart. Jamal was the senior, Burhan the junior, and on paper our timetables never touched.

Then the university ran its own Dota 2 championship. That's where we met: same tournament, same late nights, same refusal to lose. By the end of it, we were a team.

II Same side

Then we took it on the road.

One championship turned into many. We kept entering together, this time against teams from other universities, and we came home with wins.

Dota taught us the things we still use every day: read the map, call the play, trust the person next to you, and never leave a teammate behind.

III First pick

Jamal went first.

Two semesters ahead, Jamal graduated first and went straight into game development. Playing games had never been quite enough. Jamal wanted to make them.

Seeing a teammate make that jump is what pulled Burhan in. If the person on the other end of the voice chat could build worlds, so could we.

IV Split push

The map got bigger.

Jamal moved to the UK for a master's in games programming at the University of Hull. Burhan moved to Dubai and has been making games and XR experiences there ever since.

Different countries, different time zones. In Dota you'd call it a split push: spread out across the map, still playing the same game.

V Same team

Still queued together.

Kreed is where we bring it back together: two developers, two cities and one studio, making the kind of games we'd stay up late to play ourselves.

Our first one is Rook's Quest.
