For those of you who don't know us, Van der Veer Games is a Singaporean-based games company established in August 1998. What do we do? Hmm, we create boardgames, computer / internet games, and well, just about any other type of game when we put our minds to it!
All of our creative work originates out of the head office 'think tank' in Singapore, however we do employ freelancers from around the globe to handle everything from graphics to programming to sales & marketing. Chief Game Designer, Jacques Deul remarks "We like things efficient and cozy, that's why we're unlikely to expand beyond a handful of fulltime employees."
Van der Veer Games wants to create games that have more appeal than the latest technology. In regards to computer games, we feel that to stay ahead of the pack using the latest technology very rarely works as by the time you release a game the technology is already old news. That's why we plan to focus our attention on strategy games. With this particular gender of game its not necessary to have the fastest coolest 3D graphics around. This doesn't mean we won't incorporate the latest technology into our games!
Computer games aside, our main passion is in boardgames. Probably the ultimate tool of strategic play, and it's unlikely that boardgames will ever lose their appeal. No matter how advanced technology gets. We'll just have to see if we have to eat our words in the next 10 years!
