Making Waves in the Gaming World
Last week, Pocketpair decided that success in gaming wasn’t enough; they needed to dive into publishing, and boy, did they make a splash! Following the Earth-shattering success of their Pokémon-inspired survival game, their new venture attracted more attention than a cat meme on a Monday morning. Within just 24 hours, their Comms Director, John Buckley, was inundated with 1,500 LinkedIn requests, proving that in today’s world, networking is just a fancy word for collecting digital friends.
Impressive Responses Amidst the Digital Chaos
Fast forward a week, and the inbox has exploded: 400 emails, 150 game pitches, and a staggering 2,000 LinkedIn requests! If this doesn’t scream ‘call us, we’re in demand’, we’re not sure what does. The official Pocketpair publishing account took to X, formerly known as Twitter (still getting used to that), expressing how ‘blown away’ they are by developers knocking on their doors. They promised to sift through each request like a kid through their Halloween candy—carefully and with great enthusiasm!
What Lies Ahead for Pocketpair?
So, what next for Pocketpair? Well, they’ve already inked a deal with Surgent Studios, the brains behind the soon-to-be horror game ‘Tales of Kenzera: Zau.’ And while details are as scarce as a unicorn at a dog park, the excitement is real! As Pocketpair so eloquently put it, they’re determined to help as many great games get made as possible—though it seems they can’t manage to conquer the entire indie game universe just yet. The red circles in Buckley’s hastily drawn MS Paint diagram only leave us guessing. Who else is lined up, and how might this influence future gaming adventures? Keep your eyes peeled, this is just the beginning!
