TIGA Press Releases
Atomicom joins TIGA
Publish Date: Friday 7th September 2012
TIGA, the trade
association representing the UK games industry, welcomes Atomicom as its latest
member.
The cross platform mobile publisher and developer of apps and games has a
wealth of experience. Its team started in the games industry in the early 90s and they have been making
games as an independent team since 2005.
Atomicom switched to developing for mobile
in 2010 after a long career in console development under the name Playbox. Now with seven cross-platform titles
released, it has worked with most major mobile device manufactures including
Lenovo, Samsung, HTC, LG and Sony.
Epitomising the company, Bang Bang Racing THD was named one of the top three
Android racing games of 2011 coupled with our technically advanced cross
platform mobile engine. Atomicom is currently working on its crowd-funded game
House of Golf which is set for release in September.
The developer says it will
be a console-quality game with tons of content for iOS/Android/PC and MacOS
that crosses crazy golf with Micro Machines. The game features five
environments and 45 challenging holes to master. Atomicom has just announced with SCEE that it’s popular Android title Switch
will be remade and improved for Playstation Mobile and will launch on Vita and
Sony mobile devices at the end of the year.
Director Gary Nichols said:
"TIGA has been invaluable to us as a
service and helped us get to many events that we wouldn’t have otherwise been
able to attend, we’ve also been to some amazing events organised by TIGA which
have helped us improve our circle of clients and becoming a member was not a
decision we needed to spend long thinking about, the value we have received has
far exceeded the cost to join and recommend other developers to join."
Dr Richard Wilson, CEO of TIGA, said:
"Atomicom has indicated to us that it
wants to expand its client base and meet with new contacts that it would not
meet otherwise and we believe their membership of TIGA will enable them to do
this.
"The company is releasing House of
Golf in September, a game we very much look forward to. We welcome the
developer as a TIGA member and hope to see them at our forthcoming
events."
