“In an industry where a one-size-fits-all approach fails to reflect the breadth of needs developers have today, Robot Teddy’s tailored approach as a self-publishing support consultancy sets them apart,” said Agostino Simonetta, Chief Games Officer at Thunderful. “Having the flexibility to engage with developers on a whole variety of terms is a vital part of Thunderful’s strategy as a company and it’s this approach that has allowed Robot Teddy to work on the likes of Vampire Survivors, as well as exciting upcoming projects like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl”.
