Sylvan

Sylvan was a gaming server which provided a unique RPG experience coupled with player abilities, factions and a whole fantasy universe built upon the foundations of Minecraft.

It ran for over a year, which saw peak populations of 150 players daily and monetisation based upon cosmetic microtransactions.

I led all forms of technical implementations, design, level building, assets outsourcing, recruitment and marketing efforts, which brought me my first insights into game development and external tools such as IntelliJ and cPanel.

By the end of the server's lifespan, the team grew to 8 members across multiple disciplines.

In October 2016, I passed on ownership to my co-founder to focus on schooling, with the server officially being closed in December that year.

• Operated a Minecraft RPG server for 1+ year with cosmetics-based monetization.

• Reached ~150 daily active players at peak and grew the team to 8 members.
• Transferred ownership in Oct 2016; server closed Dec 2016.
