Stake could be set to usher in a shift in game production, aligning a myriad of its gaming partners into Easygo Games.
Making the announcement on LinkedIn, the group confirmed that Twist Gaming, Massive Studios, Paperclip, Uppercut and Knucklehead Syndicate will all come together but maintain “creative autonomy”.
They will also be able to keep their own style of producing gaming content, as they come together under a new Easygo umbrella.
It builds on the launch of its remote game server, Stake Engine, which underpinned ambitions to raise the ceiling when it comes to creativity and storytelling in slots.
At the heart of the new initiatives is the ambition to shift away from the tried and tested within iGaming and slots development – with Stake emphasising a focus on flexibility and bringing something fresh to the world of slots.
The operator is also eyeing a haven for indie creators with the launch of its remote game server.
“This is the first time iGaming developers can test so flexibly and directly on the same system that powers their live games,” commented Hayden Bruin, Engineer at Stake Engine, upon the launch of the platform.
“With the launch of our testing tool and forum, we’re giving developers the speed, confidence, and collaborative environment they need to deliver exceptional gaming experiences.”
Bruin added that Stake is looking to bring in a future in which the engine puts forward “entirely new categories of games”, through facilitating a blend of indie storytelling and iGaming mechanics.
Key capabilities of testing include instant toggling between currencies, languages and device types, wallet balance simulation and switching between local developer builds and live published versions. Staked highlighted the success of a number of games that have already emerged from the Stake Engine, including Drop the Boss, a politically-themed crash game developed by Mirror Image Gaming.
