Problem
Many game studios, especially indie developers, struggle with the complexities of bringing their games to market, including platform porting, marketing, community building, and post-launch support. These challenges can divert resources from core game development, hindering a game's potential success and longevity.
Solution
Aurora Punks offers full-service game publishing and co-development solutions designed to help studios navigate the entire game lifecycle, from initial development to post-launch updates. They provide support in areas such as cross-platform porting (PC, console, mobile), release management, game marketing, community engagement, and business development. Aurora Punks operates on a service fee, revenue share, or a combination of both, aligning their success with the game's performance. Their co-development services include technical implementation, code optimization, quality assurance, art and design, and the creation of branded experiences and gamified content.
Target Audience
Aurora Punks primarily targets indie game studios and developers seeking assistance with publishing, porting, co-development, and extending the lifespan of their games. They also cater to companies looking to leverage gamification and branded experiences to enhance user engagement.
