How it all started in 2008
It all started when I was 12 years old, in school I played a web-based game written in PHP, after playing it many times, I discovered you can make your own game with even free hosting (only with ads) So I learned web development on forums.
It is nice to see that today entrepreneurs still receive help from communities all over the world.
