Jessica Mak is a video game developer and musician who developed the games Everyday Shooter and Sound Shapes. Mak was featured in Annapurna Interactive's developer showcase.

Career

In 2012, Mak released Sound Shapes with Sony’s Santa Monica Studio, becoming one of the PlayStation Vita’s standout gems with an unforgettable soundtrack.

Everyday Shooter looks like a colorful, modern day Asteroids; however, the game adds music into the mix by combining the chaotic blasting with procedurally-generated guitar riffs. Everyday Shooter won two awards at Independent Games Festival and Sony published the game on PlayStation Network. Everyday Shooter appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. Mak followed the classic model of the starving artist to create "Everyday Shooter" with a cheap electric guitar and an out of date computer.

Mak is working with Annapurna Interactive on a new project, announced during the developer showcase. It gives off light Rez vibes.
