Our game industry is still in its early development stage. How popular has the gaming scene become in Indonesia now and why did you think it was so important to reach a western audience with DreadOut? Was the problem of piracy in Indonesia a deciding factor? You guys are based in Bandung which is in west Java. We split our team in two, secured our cash flow for our development, and so Digital Happiness was formed and DreadOut was born! We had almost abandoned our dream to create a video game! Then, we decided to make it happen. He showed us a preview of his game called “ Jurig Escape“, which was like a slap on the face for us. In 2011, I met our DreadOut game director Vadi (who was previously our 3D animator), and he introduced us to the Unity engine. We failed again! So we went back doing 3D animations for a living. We wanted to continue making a living as game developers, but I think our ecosystem was still not ready yet. The payment was far from great, but hey – we made a game! That’s what we’re really passionate about, so I called our previous team together again, revived the engine, and implemented it on the project. In 2004, I got a contract from the local government to make a 3D driving simulator. It was called Iris Desain (which is why Linda’s smartphone in DreadOut is called Irisphone).
So, I left the company, and built a 3D animation and graphic design company as a consultant.

The engine was a mess, the project was canned, we were rejected by our publisher, and the company I joined eventually decided to focus on software development rather than continuing their game development. We created our own engine similar to the Quake engine.
I joined the first self-proclaimed “Indonesian game developer” company as a 3D artist and game designer. Back then, there were no affordable game engines. Seriously! I personally love video games and always dreamed of making games.

We recently caught up with Digital Happiness to find out more about their upcoming PC horror title DreadOut, which releases on Steam this month. Digital Happiness producer Rachmad Imron discusses the game and tells us a little about being an Indonesia-based developer, and the hurdles they’ve had to overcome to raise funds to create DreadOut.įirst of all, can you tell us a little bit about the studio and development team? Many readers may not have heard of Digital Happiness.
