We are incredibly stoked to share that YoYo Games’ GameMaker Studio 2 just won the Design & Creativity Tool Award at Develop Conference!

Dodging the Movie/Game Stigma with Power Rangers: Legacy Wars

Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, nWay’s latest game, fits within both of the most blacklisted types of games imaginable.

Console, Mobile and PC Games, VR hardware, and a Game Engine: GDC 2017

It’s no secret – GDC is becoming less and less of a media show and turning back to it’s old focus as a true meeting of the minds in the video games industry. But that doesn’t mean there is a loss of PR opportunity at the conference if the story and the product are right. […]
