David Guo's Commitment to User-Centered Design

Evony, a popular game in over 150 countries and 26 languages, was founded by Top Games Inc. in 2015. The CEO and co-founder, David Guo, is a seasoned technology expert with over 25 years of experience in software development, game theory, network security, UX, and API design.

Evony: Revolutionizing Mobile Strategy Games

Launched in 2015, Evony is a free-to-play strategy simulation game (SLG). It combines city building, conquest, and historical generals with combat. Evony revolutionized social interaction in mobile gaming, allowing players to compete or cooperate with others in real time. The game features an Alliance page for discussions, a World channel for chatting with players across alliances, and a Server War channel where players can engage in friendly or competitive banter. These chat features enhance the social aspect of the game and keep players coming back, contributing to the game’s long-term success. Evony has attracted over 200 million players.

David’s passion for gaming and commitment to user experience led him to develop successful products like the Skynet Firewall, MyIM, Tynon, Heroes Charge, and the Evony series.

David graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a degree in physics. In 1998, he created the Skynet firewall, which became one of the most popular consumer firewalls, protecting millions of users. In 2004, he co-founded a leading virtual currency exchange platform, facilitating millions of transactions.

David saw that many game companies neglected customer satisfaction, which motivated him to join Top Games Inc. There, he helped launch numerous top-selling titles on Google Play and the Apple App Store. With over a decade of experience, David focused on user-centered design and improved team efficiency in game development.

David Guo: User Experience Always Comes First

“At our company, the user experience comes first,” David says. “We believe the key to success is creating games from the player’s perspective, not just the designer’s.”

David recently discussed Evony’s success, noting the significant growth of "Evony: The King’s Return" in 2022. The game’s global net revenue reached $385.75 million, a 1.5x increase from 2021’s $221.68 million. Looking ahead, David is excited about the future of virtual reality. He leads his team to stay at the forefront of the trend and develop engaging, fun games. With David's expertise and dedication, Top Games Inc. continues to deliver high-quality games focused on player satisfaction.
