WebKate Took Its iOS Game Bounty Hunter to Casual Connect 2013
WebKate attended Casual Connect 2013 to present its game development services and get constructive feedback on its Wild West game for iOS.
- (1888PressRelease) November 07, 2013 - Cherkassy, Ukraine - Ukrainian web and game development company WebKate participated in one of the biggest casual games event Casual Connect 2013, which was held in Kiev on October 23-25. The company presented its services in game development outsourcing as well as its iOS game Bounty Hunter, and received valuable and positive feedback on the game.
Bounty Hunter was test-played by some of the gaming industry experts, and received a lot of encouragement and constructive feedback. David Cockle, Partnership Manager at Apple, enjoyed playing the game and said it had potential for promotion. Vitaly Khit, Content Director at DevGamm, suggested adding an alternative gameplay to Bounty Hunter to make it more comfortable for playing on the go (casual gameplay would not involve the augmented reality panorama and would have a separate leaderboard). Igor Chavuchalov, Senior Producer at Absolutist Ltd., gave valuable advice on monetization and organizing the work of the store in Bounty Hunter. Finally, WebKate got preliminary approval on its bigger game idea (that Bounty Hunter is a part of) from Max Donskikh, VP of Publishing at Game Insight.
"We thank everyone who took some time to play our game and leave their feedback, and would like to say that we are very encouraged by the comments and advice we received," says Vladimir Dybenko, Director of WebKate. "We now have lots of inspiration to make our game even better. And special thanks to Big Fish and the organizers of Casual Connect for the awesome party that was so much fun!"
