Abomi Nation is a role-playing game, which allows gamers to follow the adventures of monster-like creatures called Abomis as they explore the island. As the characters evolve and gain skills, they experience battles, enjoy social events and interact with other Abomi teams.
Pilon explained he became interested in computer programming and game development as he completed his post secondary education. About four years ago he decided to work at creating a computer game with Abomi Nation being completed earlier this year and is currently undergoing final market research before its release at the end of July.
When asked about his favourite part of developing the video game, he mentioned creating the animation for the characters and the island was very enjoyable, commenting the sound design was very complicated.
