History
ForewordHi! We are Alex Nechita and Alex Nae, the founding members of Two-Eyed Cyclops Games and creators of The Underground King.
Early historyThis unexpected adventure began back in 2016 at a crossroads in both our lives. Alex Nechita was working in the game industry as a game dev but his spirit wanted to be free from the corporate machine. Alex Nae went through another programmer who abandoned him after months of work at another indie title. They met on a development Facebook group and thanks to similar interests in media and games, they hit it off immediately. It was then, that a beautiful friendship began to blossom. Soon after Alex Nechita chose to quit the corporate life and Alex Nae to try his luck yet another time, a "3 month project" was born: The Underground King!
JULY 2020One last approval from Steam and The Underground King is ready for Early Access.
"It feels like seeing your 36-year-old kid moving out of your basement." - Alex Nae
"I am the physical embodiment of a lack of sleep." - Alex Nechita
