Getting Big-Time Attention for a Small-Time Indie Game

The last thing a small indie developer wants is for their game to be ignored. But videogame marketplaces such as Steam are being flooded with new games every day, making it extremely difficult for indie developers to stand out from the crowd. Even though STONE, Convict Games’ debut about a drunken koala private detective’s psychedelic […]

Queued-up with 1047 Games for Portal-Based Combat in Splitgate: Arena Warfare

If hearing “MULTIKILL,” “BOOM HEADSHOT” and “KILLIMANJARO” never gets old, you’re in for a treat. It’s no secret many of the team at Wonacott are first-person shooter (FPS) aficionados – from Call of Duty and Counter-Strike to Battlefield and Halo, we’d thought we’d seen it all. That is, until 1047 Games took notice of our […]

Facing the Apocalypse with Philip K. Dick VR Experience, The Great C

Cinematic VR experiences have become a content cornerstone for the medium, but they exist in an awkward PR limbo. Videogaming outlets don’t usually cover them because they’re, well, not games, and film media avoid them because they’re not quite a full-length movie. But with some well-planned acrobatics, we maneuvered right under that PR limbo bar and […]

When our friends at Secret Location tasked us with revealing The Great C, a high-production […]

Bomb Dropping a Power Rangers and Street Fighter Crossover

When Power Rangers: Legacy Wars launched, we helped nWay introduce a kick-ass fighting game featuring a massive roster of our favorite Rangers and villains. A roster that grew progressively larger as they added more and more Rangers, villains and even Megazords. What could get better than that? An all-star crossover no one knew they wanted. […]

Dropping in with PUBG MOBILE

Here at the Wonacott office, the team makes up a small portion of the 400 million players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Since the game’s early access period late last year, anyone who walked by our front door could easily tell that it was lunch time by the hoots and yells of our office team calling out […]

We were stoked to work on the PlayStation VR (PS VR) adaptation of this new cult-classic franchise with Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality. Since the game already launched on […]
