From Nook to Reforged:
Robert has also been the co-founder of the Vietnamese blue-collar job marketplace, Nook. At Nook, they faced several challenges in achieving profitability despite a $1 million funding boost. This led to its closure. Despite this, Huynh didn't bow out of the entrepreneurial arena.

The goal is to overcome the sluggish pace of traditional game development cycles, where innovations risk becoming obsolete before release.
