Reporting from videogamer, Konami aims to collaborate with Western Developers to publish indie games and enhance its own portfolio with things that may be new to Konami, where western titles are for western consumers.
Richard Jones, Konami’s senior manager of brand development and European business, revealed the company’s ambitions in an interview with “Obviously everyone knows Konami, we have studios and teams in Japan, we have a lot of well-known and much-loved IPs,” he said. “They are all managed and maintained by our studio in Japan, and what we are looking for are complementary titles, to build a portfolio with things that may be new to Konami Western titles for Western consumers.”
Konami wants fresh ideas, and teams that push existing genres in new ways, or come up with something truly unique. Skelattack from developer Ukuza fits that well according to Konami.
“We’re just now going to announce this, with the release of Skelattack, I’m sure you can imagine that this has been planned for months,” explains Jones. “So, right now, we are looking for short and medium term titles that need funding and publishing support to realize their potential. I think long term, from my point of view, it’s about forming a creative partnership with the studio. “
Josh played Skelattack, and thought it was a masterpiece in fun art. A fun assessment for a game about the dead, and protecting their dungeons from invading human adventurers looking to loot their fortunes. Maybe it’s Josh’s short description of Skelattack.
Therefore, this is quite interesting because Konami is trying a new step which is quite difficult. Moreover, Konami, which is well-known as a Japanese game company, is certainly more skilled in their country. There are also many opinions that the Japanese game industry only focuses on their country as a market and is difficult to enter the global market, where sometimes some games are more comfortable in Japanese and not making English versions.
