I was a ravenous gamer as a kid, and there are far too many games that I would consider “seminal” in my young life for me to list here. Of course, the reality was somewhat more limited than my 8-year-old expectations, but I still had fun messing around with the software. I saw an ad for a program called “Game-Maker” (not that Game Maker) in the back of a magazine, and my mind immediately raced with ideas. I got into game development when I was about 8 years old. 2020 has seen significant progress towards that ambition, and we look to the future with confidence.By Britt Roberts So our readers can get to know you, can you describe how you got into game development and perhaps some titles and consoles / computers that were seminal for you, personally? "Our goal is to expand our position as a leading global developer and publisher, focusing on IP ownership while creating long-term scalable franchises across multiple media formats.
STREETS OF ROGUE UPDATES TV
With books, graphic novels, and early talks for a potential animated TV series, Hello Neighbor provides a template for many of our future games. It is great to now see the fanbase engaging with Hello Neighbor 2 and actively contributing to the game's progress by playing the alpha release. Hello Neighbor was one of our first own-IP franchises and has gone from strength to strength. "With a strong pipeline of high-quality titles set for release in the next two years, the majority of which are first and second-party titles, we have the potential to build more multimedia franchises and emulate the success of Hello Neighbor. "Our strategy to accumulate owned-IP has resulted in a strong financial performance and has translated into underlying gross margin improvement. "Our back catalogue has performed strongly, and we now have a highly diverse revenue mix," adds Nichiporchik. The company states its performance is 'slightly ahead' of its expectations. The firm's operating profit was $7.66 million, up from a loss of $2.74 million in 2019. This led to a 99% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $15.3 million.
TinyBuild saw revenue grow 35% to $37.6 million, driven primarily by back catalogue sales (representing 75% of revenue). The company also announced its first results for the year ending December 2020. "As a public company we have an even more powerful platform from which we can deliver on our organic and M&A growth ambitions." "We are delighted to announce the first deal following our successful listing on AIM earlier this year," says TinyBuild CEO Alex Nichiporchik. Shortly afterwards, the company floated on the AIM stock exchange in March. It's the latest in a long line of acquisitions for TinyBuild, which includes the recent additions of We're Five Games, Hungry Couch and Moon Moose earlier this year. The team is now developing a sequel to Streets of Rogue. The cost of the deal is split between cash and newly issued TinyBuild shares. Dabrowski through DogHelm developed the rogue-like title Streets of Rogue, which TinyBuild says is the highest rated game in its portfolio. The deal sees Matt Dabrowski join the TinyBuild team. TinyBuild has acquired games developer DogHelm in a deal potentially worth $6.5 million.
