Middle Game Designer

About Project

Nile Valley is a mobile farm game in an antique setting with a unique combination of classic farming gameplay and an adventure component.

On the one hand, in the contrasting atmosphere of the hot desert and the cool shade of date palms, the development of a farm made of healthy grains and sweet fruits.
