Polish based Vivid Games will be adding a second third-party independent mobile game to its publishing portfolio for release in 2016.
Road Survivor, by Romanian based studio Art Dynasty, is an endless arcade title that will see you negotiate road obstacles by jumping and trying to keep a small squad of players alive. The game, which will be available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, will be the second game this year to be published by Vivid Games who originally planned only one release in 2016.
The company has grown its portfolio to publish more games this year, with Heroes of Nox: Galactic Clash due to come within Q4 2016, another seven in 2017 instead of the previously planned five.
“We constantly observe and analyze the mobile games market and we can see how important it is for a game to have an interesting concept,” said Vivid Games CEO Remi Koscielny. “Road Survivor is the first casual game in our publishing portfolio, making it even more diverse.”
Road Survivor joins an existing lineup including Prime Time Rush by Invictus Games and Vivid Games’ Metal Fist: Urban Domination, which are projected to be released before the end of 2017.
Whilst the game by Art Dynasty isn’t in keeping with a lot of the Vivid portfolio, it does hold a lot of the quality that Vivid is looking for, according to Chris Kusak, Vivid’s business development manager, who said, “Its main strength is the compelling and addictive gameplay. That is exactly why although it appeals to a different audience than the other games from our portfolio, we have still decided to publish it.”
