Føler du at sportsspill følger den samme gamle formelen år etter år? Håper du at det kommer noen nykommere med friske ideer? Kanskje Nifty Games er svaret. Selskapet er grunnlagt av industriveteranene Jon Middleton og produsent Pete Wanat (vi husker ham fra Chronicles of Riddick-titlene da han jobbet for Universal).
"We've built Nifty Games to create innovative sports games for today's sports fans," sa Middleton via pressemelding. "The talent and experience on the team is second to none, and we believe our unique product direction and focus on quality will deliver a step change in mobile gaming to sports fans worldwide. It's a great vote of confidence to have the support of such highly regarded investors in our initial equity financing. With investment from team owners from all five major North American pro sports leagues, as well as successful game industry leaders and institutional tech investors, we're off to a great start."
Selskapet har sikret seg $3 millioner i finansiering fra blant annet aXiomatic Gaming, March Capital Partners og Defy.VC. Hovedmålet deres er å "produce the best head to head quick play sports games" på mobile og digitale plattformer.
Det blir spennende å se hva slags titler vi får fra Nifty Games i fremtiden.
