Vertigo Games

This past Sunday, we hosted a Product Case Challenge with Boğaziçi University students, organized together with the BÜMED student club. We're humbled every time we see how enthusiastic the brightest students are about what we do. A huge thank you to all the participants for their effort and for giving us their Sunday. We're also deeply grateful to the Boğaziçi University Alumni Association for opening BÜMED House to us; we truly felt at home. A special thanks to Zeynep Sudem Aktaş and Berat Köstekçi from BÜMED Öğrenci, who organized the event and impressed us with their meticulous follow-through every step of the way.

We had a great time talking with students about our production process behind Critical Strike and Polygun Arena. The questions and the energy in the room genuinely made our day. Our thanks to Dean Prof. Dr. Duygu Karaman and Vice Dean Dr. Yasin Arslan for joining us, and a special thanks to Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Taş Alicenap, Head of the Animation Department, for co-organizing the event with us. We also used this occasion to launch a recruitment challenge, and we are excited to share that we hired the winner as our summer Art Intern. Looking forward to welcoming our new teammate.

Last week, we hosted students from BÜMED Öğrenci at our office. It is quite rare to find so many curious + bright people in a circle. We had a great time holding a Q&A session and talking all about what it’s like to work across different roles. Up next: Our final campus event of the term. We will hold a case challenge at Bümed House on Sunday. You can reach out to Zeynep Sudem Aktaş and Berat Köstekçi for details on how to sign up.

What completes a painting isn’t the final brushstroke, but every touch that leads to it. We had a great time building every part of Last Portrait. Here’s a look behind the scenes in our making-of video.

Last week, we were at Koç University again, hosted by the incredible KU ACM Student Chapter. This time, in addition to talking about Product Management and careers at Vertigo Games, we also held a case challenge for students. We feel grateful to have met such sharp students. Hope to see you again on campus soon! Special thanks to the KU ACM Student Chapter team for making the student side of the organization run so smoothly. Shout-out to: Ege Ünal, Sıla Temel, Ahmet Salih Çiçek, Göktürk Gök , Cem Eren Ekici, Mete Aybars Zemheri, Yaman Bicer

We had a product meet-up event last week at Boğaziçi University. Many in our product team are Boğaziçi graduates, so it was like going back home rather than hosting an event. It's mind-blowing how interest in the mobile gaming sector is rapidly increasing on campus. More and more students now target a career in gaming and we were more than happy to talk about the FPS side of things. We had great hosts from Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Yöneylem Araştırma Kulübü, special thanks to Ömer Faruk Gülçağ for co-ordinating the event and hosting us. We will see you next at our meet up in Koç University together with KU ACM Student Chapter this evening. Stay tuned!

Welcome to the Last Portrait. Every action leaves a trace. With Azure, each moment unfolds like a canvas, adding another stroke, another layer. Under Noir’s gaze, control and consequence blur, and every victory finds its place within the composition. Finish your portrait before you become someone else’s.

Two different games, one shared passion. Today we competed as Critical Strike vs. Polygun Arena. Tomorrow, we’re back to being one team.
