Services
We produce interactive content for all current console formats; physical goods and download. Our group of companies includes an approved Nintendo developer, an approved publisher, an approved Microsoft vendor, Apple developer and App Store vendor. Producers are Prince 2 qualified
The principal business model is to acquire rights, produce the titles and then license the finished code to a 'major' publisher to undertake sales, marketing and distribution. However, we are flexible in all we do; commercial and operational models are simply a good place to start
Occasionally, publishers or IP owners prefer to retain all rights and simply require 'work-for-hire' resources. We do that too
Either way, our speciality is third-party brands. Drawn from branding and technical backgrounds, the Route 1 team is highly respectful of the equity that has been built over time in major franchises. As our product page shows, our experience is wide reaching and demonstrates that a brand is in very safe hands
Our approach is to take an established property and transform it into an experience that:
• Adds value to the brand
• Provides an engaging and relevant game experience
• Takes account of the user demographic - age, gender, gaming competence
• The usage occasion - single player or group
• The user location - at home or on the move
• Play duration - a quick blast or a full-on session
• The optimum format(s) for delivery
