Since that time the team was just me, I had to do everything by myself, be a man "all-in-one"; I was a programmer, web designer, artist, 3D modeler and sound maker...Ilya Afanasyev
Summer 2007 Ilya decided to build a team based on division of labor. When he had completed a new logo and site refrashing, he renamed the Delta-Shadow in DeltaShadow, bought the domain name deltashadow.com and began to hire employees.
July 19, 2007 marked the first success: the first employee - Vitaliy Syrchikov. This point can be considered the beginning of the modern DeltaShadow. Today Vitaliy is the head of the IT-department and is responsible for all technological innovations in DeltaShadow. Creativity in any case has been and remains its guiding principle. From the outset, the team began to operate in two directions: the development of games and software and web design. However, in the first 1.5 years of existence has been made the priority to develop games and software.
In August 2007 new company site was shown, which became the hallmark of DeltaShadow, became "mirror" of its quality, and in combination the first work in our portfolio. Literally in those days our first game Space Master 1989 have released. It was a simple 8-bit space 2d shooter styled late 80's.
Then a period of failure and stagnation followed: the projects did not finish, missing the right experience and the organization of work, the team changes every week and ranged from 5 to 20 people. The team did not even have their forum - its own platform for discussion and cooperation.
We have started many projects, such as our own media-player DS PLAYER, a 3D game engine, several 2d games such as D-RTS and remake of our release - Space Master 2009, developed our own system for evaluating games Quality Estimation. All these projects have remained at an early stage of development.
It is sad that our early projects were not implemented, however, they gave us the valuable experience and skills that we use now. We are working on new projects, look to the future, but maybe we'll come back to our earliest projects...Vitaliy Syrchikov
It became obvious that the game development was not enough for the companydevelopment, it was required to put it on the "commercialization". In spring 2008, DeltaShadow start taking orders in the field of design, printing and creating websites. All forces were thrown on the design and web development, and it paid off. A number of enthusiastic responses from observers were posted and the positive feedback from customers was shown.
In 2009, the list of services was introduced branding and copywriting. Now the word "Idea" has acquired a new meaning and come-in a number of developing businesses. It is proposed a number of new technological solutions for your website.
Since 2010, we offer services in marketing, namely: brand positioning, promotional campaigns, product promotion, search engine optimization (SEO), as well as latest solutions in the field of advertising: social media marketing (SMO) and mobile advertising.
2011 began with the introduction of the newest engine for web sites. Content Management System (CMS) of its own design became much more "flexible", tech and more importantly easy to learn. The system is scaling, it means that it can improve virtually any needs and objectives. New technologies have reduced the volume of the finished pages to 150%. The new administration panel designed to meet the wishes of the users and requires a minimum amount of time to learn.
Today, we constantly monitor the quality of our services; develop products, both in design and technological way. The fact that our team sprang solely on enthusiasm, says a lot. Each of us really loves his job. Precisely because of this, DeltaShadow - is always something more than just a company; it is the style and rhythm of life.
