Yehonatan Koenig
Co-Founder at Exit Reality VR, Inc
Good game design is not easy, its quick to overdo it and stuff too much and the kitchen sink. Make no mistake its an art form where less is more, especially in attraction design for FEC's (Family entertainment centers), time wise you have 5-10 min max for the whole thing, where the guest needs to be in the experience, know what to do quickly, have a great time and want to come back to refine their skills. Tamaz's Game designs for Revolver and World of Tanks VR achieve just this, two fantastic VR games I am proud to distribute, from a game designer that's pushing the bar for the whole industry. I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next.
Alex Morozov
Regional Product Marketing Director World of Tanks (PC) CIS at WARGAMING
Having seen a fare share of VR experiences I can definitely state that Tamaz' creative touch and systematic management approach has led to creation of true gems like World of Tanks VR and RevolVR series, among other dozen of entertaining VR gaming titles. Being passionate about providing users with maximum level of immersion, Tamaz has lead the development teams that truly deliver. Under a lot of pressure and within the most strict deadlines. I'm honoured to share my experience with such a great person. The industry is truly richer with Tamaz!
Nicolay Danilov
Director, Advertising Products at RAMBLER&Co
I only had excellent experience working with Tamaz. Not only he sees big picture of his creation but his attention to details is amazing. Managing people is his another strong side. He is the true heart and brain of his team, providing good guidance both for the newbies and to the most experienced people. I often turn to Tamaz for advices regarding design and UX even since we do not work together for several years. His opinion is always very practical and is well supported with arguments.

Yes, and whatever he does simply looks good.
Maria Adamian
CEO at Friendly Voice, Founding Partner at Ecamb.com

Anton Kolkovskiy

Tamaz demonstrated a strong vision for something unknown – how World of Tanks should look like in VR. He also showed himself as an experienced manager and expert in game production. Overall, it was a pleasure working with him for more than a year. Kudos!
