The Arvie K Story

My love for providing entertainment started when I was 8 years old. I used to draw these little comics in my notebook during recess, and share them with my friends at the time. Before I knew it, all the kids in my class were eagerly waiting for my next comic and getting excited when I finished each one. It was like my first little fan base, and from that point on, I knew what I wanted to do with my life, not specifically but the vauge idea at least.

​

At 14, during the summer of the pandemic, I was spending a large portion of quarantine playing games, which brought about the idea of, “What if I made one?” It was the perfect time to learn. That led me to make my first game, “Escape of Subject55”, about a robot escaping a facility. It was terrible, of course, but finishing it showed me what was possible. I then went on to create more games, and launched my YouTube channel sharing the stories behind creating them, which built my first online following under the name Arvie K (a name I honestly identify with more than my legal one). Despite the fact I didn’t make a cent back then, seeing people enjoy my creations was payment enough for me (mostly cause I didn't have bills). Knowing that there's people out there who enjoy what I create has always been my motivation to keep creating and to keep working towards providing entertainment on a larger and larger scale.​

When we create entertainment, we create an experience for someone to live out and enjoy. I’ve come to realize how true that simple idea really is. It’s about giving people an escape when they need it most. I don’t like to talk about my upbringing much, but I had many moments in my own childhood when I really needed that mental escape, and playing a game, listening to music, or watching movies helped me get through it. Since then, my goal with this life has been and always will be to create those little moments of escape for others, just as entertainment once did for me.
