Who is Sanghoon Lee?

Waffle Games operates as a multi-disciplinary indie studio that balances narrative-heavy visual novels with mechanical, genre-blending titles like roguelike RTS. Their strategic pivot involves maintaining a presence across both PC and mobile platforms, allowing them to cross-pollinate design elements from desktop-style complexity into mobile-friendly formats. The studio's reliance on a diverse, non-homogenous portfolio suggests an experimental approach to genre exploration rather than a focus on a single, scalable vertical.
