We Liv Games!

Orian Livnat  ·  Founder  ·  Orange County, CA
Orian Livnat founded LiV Games to build the kind of games he always wanted to make. Ones inspired by playing games in his childhood. It wasn’t until Mobile that he was able to realize that dream.

How It Started

In late 2009, Orian recruited his friends Casey and Felix to develop a concept for a music-based puzzle game. One track felt too Legendary for it — it sounded like an epic battle. That moment changed everything. Orian and his father Elik recruited Lam and Terrace, who had just released Pirates vs Ninjas on the App Store, and together, they built a mobile castle defense game based on heroes who the players collect and upgrade. LiV Games was officially founded in Orange County in 2010, and they assembled a team of independent developers and artists from across North America. Orian grew up on 16-bit side-scrollers and strategy PC games, and those all influenced their design. A year later, Legendary Wars was born.

Legendary Wars Hits the App Store

After a year of development with independent developers and artists across North America, Legendary Wars launched on January 27th, 2011. Critics praised it for its depth, variety of modes, and sheer amount of content. Apple featured it multiple times. They kept building on it, adding content and improving based on player feedback. The success led to two sequels and completed the Legendary Trilogy.
