Just some of the ways you can use games to help promote your brand are:

• Advergame Development - Fusing advertising and entertainment, advergaming can be a great way to increase brand awareness in addition to your existing campaigns.

Serious & Business Games

We create serious games for a variety of uses, including:

• Educational Game Development - Provide engaging, fun educational materials for all ages with custom educational games.

Where Can We Use Custom Interactive Games?

• Online Game Development - Web games provide a great, cost effective way to target a full range of devices (from mobile devices to desktop PCs), all from the same version, at the same access point (a single URL). This makes online games ideal for projects with modest budgets and/or short timescales, such as branded games.
• Mobile Game Development - With the explosion in smartphone and tablet use on the go and these becoming many peoples' primary devices for internet browsing, casual gaming and more, a mobile game can be a great way to tap into this ever growing audience.
• Desktop PC & Mac Game Development - Windows applications, for standard PC hardware can be a great choice for developing games for offline play, either in the workplace or for events via interactive kiosks. We develop games for deployment as standard Windows or Mac executables for a variety of business uses.
• Digital Interactive Kiosk Game Development - Interactive kiosks can be used to run interactive multimedia content, including games, in virtually any physical location. Plus with the affordability of PC touch screens and tablets with a touch screen built in, it's easier than ever to set up a DIY interactive game kiosk.

What Tech Do You Use to Develop Games

• HTML5 Game Development - HTML5 is a great choice for small scale 2D computer game development. It allows play across a huge range of mobile and desktop devices via the web, without the need for a software install. Or HTML5 games can be built as locally run software applications for offline use. We can also help with Flash game to HTML5 conversions.

What Types of Games Can You Make?

It's unlikely you'll have the budget for a hi-tech 3D extravaganza, but within the realms of a 2D video game we can produce pretty much anything.

The start of the game design process usually involves figuring out who your target audience is. Then we can suggest possible game concepts that will fit your requirements and appeal to your audience.

We're experts in making games to appeal to different age ranges and levels of technical proficiency. From simple, easy to pick-up and play puzzle games, to more complex experiences, to appeal to more experienced gamers. Anything from a simple, addictive casual puzzle game to a more complex arcade-like game, we've got it covered.

Aren't Computer Games for Kids?

Despite what you might think, it's not just kids that play video games, in fact that couldn't be further from the truth. Research has shown that a large percentage of gamers are adults (the average gamer being in their 30s), and women are just as likely to play as men. So computer games are suitable for targeting a wide range of demographics, not just children or the youth market.
