Japan – Swintt-pennordistributionsavtal med slotstudio grundad av NatsumeAtari
By William - 27 september 2022
Swintt and Samurai Studio have entered an agreement to distribute games via the SwinttStudios partnership programme.
Rolled out earlier this year, SwinttStudios is an initiative developed by the Malta-based company that allows boutique software providers to develop and distribute games within the existing Swintt framework. The programme enables partners to focus mainly on the design and theme of their titles while Swintt handles game logic and product delivery.
As one of the few video slot developers in Japan that can already boast global operations, Samurai Studio will use the opportunity to tap into Swintt’s distribution network and back-end tools, extending its brand outreach.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, commented: “With NatsumeAtari having only launched Samurai Studio two years ago, we’ve been impressed with what the developer has already achieved in such a short space of time – but with SwinttStudios, we’ll be able to help them reach the next level.
"Efter att ha sett studions känsla för design och innovation, kommer vi nu att kunna ta muttrarna och bultar av spellogik och produktleverans ur deras händer. Detta kommer att göra det möjligt för dem att göra banbrytande spelutveckling till sin främsta prioritet eftersom vårt distributionsnätverk ser till att de exklusiva spelen de skapar via SwinttStudios partnerskapsprogram når alla marknader där de behöver ses.”
With history dating back to 1987, NatsumeAtari was first established as a business that provided technology, artwork and services to video game companies and pachinko machine developers. With a group philosophy that reads “happiness to everyone involved with NatsumeAtari”, it wasn’t until October 2020 that Samurai Studio was created and the group turned its hand to video slot creation.
NatsumeAtari will now use this industry experience to develop a series of exclusive games via the SwinttStudios partnership programme, giving new and existing players alike the chance to experience a range of video slots that each come with their own unique themes and features.
Mitsuhiro Koide, Chief Operating Officer at NatsumeAtari, added: “Having founded our company with a mission to spread happiness to everyone involved with NatsumeAtari, we’re delighted the joy we provide to players will now reach even further through our partnership with SwinttStudios.
"Genom att gå samman med Swint för denna spännande satsning kan vårt begåvade team av designers och utvecklare fokusera på att skapa de mest uppslukande och roliga spelen som möjligt samtidigt som Swints distributionslösningar och djupgående branschkunnande hjälper oss att sätta vår produkt framför en helt ny publik.”
