Gravity, a global game company, is practicing coexistence by actively supporting indie game developers for the development of the domestic game industry.
Gravity is actively carrying out related support projects to create an environment where promising developers with excellent development capabilities can focus on development stably. The purpose is to resolve the difficulties of indie game developers who face limitations due to a lack of development space, manpower, and capital and to promote qualitative growth in the game industry by introducing better games to the market.
The new mobile game Ragnarok in Wonderland, which is currently in pre-order, was developed by Ninety Seconds with development support from Gravity. Ninety Seconds is a small-scale indie game development company with 20 years of experience in various projects.
Mobile healing collection tycoon game Ragnarok in Wonderland is the first tycoon genre game of Ragnarok IP that takes place on Wonderland, the dream island of monsters, unlike the existing battle-oriented Ragnarok IP titles. Users can collect and nurture monsters and engage in various monster-centered plays, such as adventure, building construction, and item production.
Gravity began a game development project using the Ragnarok IP with Ninety Seconds in 2022 and began developing a tycoon genre game using the Ragnarok IP. Gravity worked together on game planning from the early stages of development and established a development direction to highlight the cute sensibility unique to Ragnarok IP. In addition, we are providing all-around support, from the costs required for development, such as creating development infrastructure, to marketing and promotional activities before and after launching.
In addition, Gravity is continuing the ‘START with GRAVITY’ project to discover original and innovative PC and console games. Through this project, we will begin publishing various genre games, such as Wetory, ALTF42, Little Beings of the Abyss, Pig Romance, Final Night, Light Odyssey, and Shambles, starting in 2023. A contract was signed.
Based on the game publishing know-how and capabilities of its headquarters and branches in various overseas regions, Gravity assists in aspects other than development to developers lacking launch experience. It provides marketing, publicity, operation, and localization to achieve successful results in the global market. I am in charge of tasks such as work.
In addition, Gravity signed a ‘business agreement for game production and global expansion’ with the Chungnam Information and Culture Industry Promotion Agency in 2022. It carried out a game production support project using the Ragnarok IP.
Gravity Business Director Jeong Il-tae said, “Gravity is striving to achieve mutual growth with indie game developers to fulfill its role and responsibility as a global game company for developing the game industry. We hope that more indie game developers will see the light.” “We will continue to provide diverse support as an industry partner.”
