About Two Swords
Early 2016 the two brothers Mark and Lawrence, the founders of TwoSword Games decided to blend their passion for art and programming to take what once was a demo that Lawrence, the self-taught Software Engineer built to practice his skills and turn it into a functioning game. Prior to that, Lawrence was a business major that had a hard time finding work so he decided to apply for other jobs until he could achieve his dream of working in corporate America. He landed a job as a retail manager working 60 hours a week standing on his feet, but due to high-level stress on the body, he developed health problems-He quit after a year. Seeing his brother struggle with both his health and career, Mark his older brother suggested trying a career switch, programming. During that time Mark has been working in the industry for 5 years, four of those were at Blizzard Entertainment. Since the brothers loved games, it only made sense to balance disciplines in hopes that one day they can create games they love playing. After a few years, Lawrence came to Mark asking for art support for his unity project. Life got busy for the two brothers so they decided to take a long break, in 2020 they decided with Covid-19 lockdown, that would be the perfect time to pick up where they left off. Releasing Mr. POD on Android and iOS soon.
