Zen Studios gets into indie porting, publishing
Summary
Zen Studios gets into indie porting, publishing PSVR version of RocketWerkz Out of Ammo will be first release from Pinball FX developers new initiative Zen Studios is practically synonymous with its Pinball FX series of games, which has appeared on every major platform since its Xbox Live Arcade debut a decade ago. Now Zen wants to use its knowledge of those platforms and relationships with the platform-holders to help independent developers get their PC games in front of new audiences. Zen Studios VP of publishing Mel Kirk told GamesIndustry.biz the idea came up while talking to some indie developer friends over dinner. Devs are essentially handing us source code, we identify some upfront challenges - whether theyre technical, creative, business, content additions, UI or UX - and requirements to get things up to par for consoles. While Zen has released non-pinball games (CastleStorm, Planet Minigolf, and Kickbeat among them), Kirk acknowledged theyve had "varying levels of success."
