NEW YORK -- Jan. 13, 2021 - Tilting Point, a world leading free-to-play game publisher, has entered into a long-term live publishing partnership with Storytaco, which will include user acquisition (UA) funding and management for the South Korean developer’s dating simulator game, Dangerous Fellows. As part of this East to West publishing partnership, Tilting Point will leverage its technological expertise and invest up to $10 million in UA funding, in addition to managing app store optimization, ad monetization, developing marketing creatives, platform relations, porting assistance and the potential for future IP integration support.
As a new-generation games partner, Tilting Point helps teams power up their existing games with its live publishing model, $132 million annual investment UA fund, expert resources, services and operational support. Since Fall 2019, the company has partnered with various Korean developers, boosting global efforts and scaling their respective titles, including JoyCity’s Gunship Battle: Total Warfare, ANGames’ AstroKings and Clegames’ Reign of Empires. In addition to Korea, Tilting Point will continue to expand its universal presence in 2021 by partnering with, and offering its expertise and services to major developers across the globe, with more news on this front to come very soon.
“Storytaco has done a great job of creating a narrative-driven game that has captivated audiences, and this partnership allows us to bring that thrilling storyline into the hands of even more players,” said Tilting Point president Samir Agili. “Our team has immense experience in boosting Eastern games in Western markets, and we are confident that this full live publishing partnership will help increase Dangerous Fellows’ popularity within the story-based game genre and worldwide.”
A visual-novel based dating simulator game, Dangerous Fellows takes place during a zombie apocalypse where players must find their right romantic partner and ultimately survive the apocalypse together. Selected by the 'GSP PLUS' project of Korea Creative Contents Agency (KOCCA), Dangerous Fellows was ranked #1 in the story-based category two weeks after launch, and saw immediate success in the U.S., Canada and Vietnam following global release.
“Tilting Point is a leader in scaling great games, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them to continue building excitement, momentum and recognition for Dangerous Fellows,” said Storytaco’s CEO Jaeil Kim. “With Tilting Point’s support, we now have the opportunity to be active in more global markets, as well as create better gaming experiences that will be enjoyed by our female-centric audience.”
