Bio

I'm Liam Sorta and I love building stuff. Games, communities, weird experimental projects, all of it.

Iโ€™m the CEO of Acureus, a small remote team of 7 awesome devs building Draw & Guess, a cosy party game on PC with over 4 million sales.

Before this, I gave tech talks around the world at Unity and Amazon, built a game dev community with 55,000 members, and solo founded/sold a startup with over a million users.

My background spans dev ecosystems, product strategy, and marketing.

Iโ€™ve been fortunate enough to work with a bunch of incredibly talented people across tech/games to work on products reaching millions of people; to now apply this to our own game with over 4M players comes with a new level of intensity, and comes with even higher stakes. By cultivating a wonderful dev team and actively listening/engaging with our players, weโ€™ve been able to consistently release high quality updates that players love.

Things I Do

๐Ÿฅ‘ Developer Relations

As a developer, educator, and community builder, Developer Relations holds a close space in my heart.

Whether 1:1/1:many, every developer you encounter poses an opportunity to learn and improve your product, potentially impacting millions of other people!

So cool.

โค๏ธ Community Building

Peer learning is a powerful force multiplier for any skill; by creating communities, you indirectly create new relationships, improve products, and advance accessibility.

Having grown communities at a personal + corporate level, I have seen many of these benefits first-hand over the years.
