Rovio Entertainment has announced that they will start publishing third-party games via a new publishing brand called Rovio Stars. The first games from Rovio Stars will be A Viking Voyage from U.K.-based Nitrome and Tiny Thief from Spanish studio 5 Ants.
“We want to help the developers to give these games that last coat of polish, publish the games and find their audience,” said Rovio director of development Kalle Kaivola. “We’re focusing on a small, select number of games, and each Rovio Stars launch will be an event of its own.”
Rovio wants developers to submit their own games to be part of the the Rovio Stars program. Those games that are tapped by Rovio will benefit from the company’s marketing and PR resources, will receive feedback on the gameplay, and will benefit from help in bringing the game to app stores.
