the team

Hi, we're IDEA Studios! As kids we wanted to be superheroes, but our mums wouldn't let us :( So now that we're all grown up, we decided to follow up on that dream and try to make the stuff of superheroes happen on a daily basis. We make it a habit out of saving kitties from tall trees, saving the planet from invading aliens, increasing our customers' sales with beautiful web designs and giving parents all across the world some peace of mind by keeping their kids entertained on our flash games.

But first, let's start with a bit of history, to give you an idea of how we started and where we're going.

Dani and Tudi know each other for quite some time, being long-time high-school buddies. When high-school was over they parted ways, Tudi taking up Computer Science in college and Dani joining the local Law School, thinking he actually has the patience to go through that sort of tough college :)

While in College, they both realize that what they really wanted to do was work in web-related domains, Tudi gaining decent experience as an SEO over the past few years and Dani developing sites for a living. Fast forward a couple of months later and IDEA Studios was born.

Our birth certificate reads 27 November 2007, but the truth is we've only truly been in business since mid-2008 as a company. We took the first year to study the market and try to identify the goals and dreams of our small company.

Landing several SEO and web-development jobs gave us the opportunity to get a decent office and start thinking of new ventures we can pursue. Of all the ideas we had going, the one that seemed closest to our hearts was always developing flash games (both Dani and Tudi being casual gamers with an eye for decent gameplay, quality graphics and some technical background).

We had a simple problem at hand, but the solution was far from an easy fix. We knew we wanted to be part of the flash games industry but neither of us knew how to draw anything more complex than a paintbrush circle with pointy spikes to represent a character's head and hair. We decided we needed some real talent on the job so our first job ad landed us an interview with Dorin.

Granted, we didn't know if Dorin was the right choice for the job at that time, but a couple of games later and he convinced us he was exactly the guy we were looking for. Almost 2 years later and he's still with us, being our project manager and animationist so clearly something clicked from the beginning. Thanks for sticking with us through the rough times dude!

The thing is, we can't single everyone out, but let me just say that we got an awesome team going in the past few years. Simina our bird-o-phobic illustrator, Teo our organized-freak assistant manager,Joszi our awesome character designer, Bubu our laid-back Flash artist, Manuela our fashionista, our witty web developer Csongor and Cristi on the flash dev side, Stella with our fashion work and Sorana, the content manager and PR repobsible, Andreea, Adriana, Anca, Ovidiu, Laura and who knows... a lot more talented guys who wanna join. Florin (the actual person) joined us in August and will be helping us to reach the stars we all dream about. Each and every one of these guys and girls made their mark on our company and our projects so big up to our team!

Our future is tightly knit to the two industries we're aiming to make a name in: casual gaming and web development. While we're currently working mostly in the flash games niche, we intend to expand into the web development market soon enough, with the addition of our office in China (when the darn paperwork is ready >.<).

As for our projects, we'll always be using our lead foot on the gas pedal in terms of progress. We know we can always improve on our work and we know there's plenty of room on the market for the kind of talent we have. We also know we're nowhere near our limits and there's plenty of room to grow in our work - until we reach that limit, expect us to keep un pushing the quality standards to everything we do.

While we're a bunch of young people with far-reaching ideals and dreams for the future, we also like to think of ourselves as objective and down-to-Earth. So we'll finish off our little ode to the future with the words of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, who said "the best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time".
