Development Strategy
The basic assumption of the Company’s strategy is to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality computer games. The Company focuses on games with a potentially long life cycle that have the potential to be expanded with additional paid gameplay elements (DLC) and subsequent game installments (sequels).
Games Operators intend to develop games with budgets from PLN 250 thousand to PLN 2 million. The company has the resources and competencies to simultaneously supervise the production of 10-20 games, which translates into 4 to 8 releases per year, depending on the size and complexity of the games. Games Operators focus on cooperation with small (from 2 to 20 people) development teams that already have experience in game production. Thanks to continuous and extensive support from the Company, it is possible for such development teams to deliver high-quality games. The strategy based on cooperation with small, young teams which are supported by Games Operators’ experience and resources enables the production of high-quality games while maintaining high-cost effectiveness.
