Mykhailo Kotys

Mykhailo Kotys is the CEO of Maya Gameworks. He always dreamed of making computer games: although his parents sent him to study economics, he taught himself programming, 3D modelling and animation, and built games on his own for five years. He then found a job that allowed him to found his own company, and for the last 13 years his team has been working on the game of his dreams. The studio is making its game in Unity. At Games Gathering 2025 Mykhailo gave a talk titled "Designing Immortal Games" and the studio showed its game at the conference booth.
