Paris, San Francisco - July 18, in the year of our Lord 2012
-- BulkyPix which is one of the world leaders in game development
and publishing on smartphone, tablet, PC & Mac platforms, announces
the creation of a 3 million dollar budget dedicated to independent
studios. The aim of the budget is to provide 3 years of support for
the development of multi-platform games to independent studios.
With almost a hundred games in its portfolio – including MyBrute,
Aby Escape, The SandBox and Saving Private Sheep, to name just a few
– BulkyPix has become in less than three years, a key player in the
smartphone and tablet video game market. Acting as developer,
co-producer and publisher, the company currently employs 40 people
and works with some fifty independent studios.
“We are very pleased to announce the creation of this budget,” says
BulkyPix CEO Olivier Pierre. “Ever since its creation, BulkyPix has
successfully supported the creation of numerous video games by
taking part in co-productions alongside studios such as: Mando
Production (Babel Running and Babel Rising), Pixel Ratio (Aby
Escape), Egg Ball (Jazz, A Moon for the Sky), cTools (Kung Fu
Rabbit), and Pastagames (Pix'N Love, Burn It All). This budget will
allow us to reinforce that investment in independent production”.
“The future of video gaming lies with independent studios. It is
here – and only here – that you can find creativity, innovation and
fun in its purest form. That is the kind of creation we want to
support – by giving indie developers around the world the means to
express themselves,” adds BulkyPix COO Vincent Dondaine.
