Mediaguild UG

Can provide: Online distribution, producer consultancy, contract development

Location: Velbert, Germany

Forum Name: SunSailor

Contact: Andreas.Podgurski(at)Mediaguild.de

Resumé summary: After several years in the game industry, I started my own business last year. I'm providing an online distribution platform, which covers sales, support and deployment. As I'm using OGRE for my own game project, I can provide a toolchain to directly connect your game with my platform. Yet, my platform is web based only, but our deployment client will be available in the 2nd quarter 2010. I'm looking for some more reference projects, which can benefit from the early adopter offer. I'm planning to extend the system with features for multiplayer games, like match making, clan management and a ladder system.
