Shortaholic’s Journey

Below is a basic timeline of all the important projects and things I have done over the years.

  1. First Management Position

    "My first ever staff position was at HotDogCraft and it taught me a lot about Minecraft servers and configuration."

  2. First Minecraft Server

    "Launched my very first server called SimpPixel Network and grew it to a decent size before selling it."

  3. Server-Setup Studio

    "Early in the year I founded Grima Services which was my small Configuration Studio that created setups for content creators."

  4. Studio Rebrand

    "After such growth, I rebranded to Play Games Interactive (PGI) 1 year later focusing on all fields of Development."

  5. Founded Emoticon Games

    "I created Emoticon Games and shut down PGI to focus more on other games like Fortnite UEFN... which failed - I then proceeded back into Minecraft."

  6. EarthSMP Launched

    "I launched my best server yet, completely smashing all previous records I had made over the years in every category. (Rebranded to BananaMC)"

  7. New Startups & Brands

    "Prototyping with ideas in hopes to make a proper name for myself one day."
