What kind of platforms do you develop the games for?
With a little exaggeration, we are able to create a game for any thinkable platform. We are not surprised by small online games in Flash for the web explorer, as well as we can easily deal with huge computer titles which the players can download to their computer and play them after that. We can also develop mobile games for mobile devices (iphone development, mobile phones development, PDA development etc.). From each of the mentioned area we have an amount of referential projects.
In what way are the advergames spread?
The distribution of an advergame derives from the circumstances under which it originated and what is its goal. If its goal is to attract visitors to your web pages, it will be placed on your web page (or connected with it in any other way). If the game is aimed as a present to the participants of the competition, only players or selected group of people will be given the link to its download. If the game is meant to serve for the presentation at the trade-fair, it will be pressed to the media such as CD or DVD. There are many possibilities and we would be pleased to help you with the game distribution if needed.
Don’t the games address only children and teenagers?
In no way! Everything depends on the game topic and the way in which it deals with it. Adults, as well as children, like to amuse themselves with the games, which is proved by various inquiries and statistics. In case you are not sure if the game would manage to address also somebody else except children, do not hesitate and visit the page The Facts about advergaming and games in general.
