GameStorm - Make your own fun!

Moviestorm Limited are seeking partnerships/collaborations with game publishers, ideally experienced in the marketing and promotion of VR based games, to assist with the product content and go-to-market strategy for a series of VR-based game creation toolkits powered by their pioneering FirstStage virtual production platform.

Moviestorm Limited have been making accessible 3d content creation tools since 2005.

They recently won an Innovate UK grant to develop a toolkit to enable anyone to make collaborative games or interactive experiences in virtual reality without needing any artistic, technical or coding skills.

Built upon their VR-based collaborative content authoring tool called FirstStage, which was developed out of a successful Horizon 2020 research project looking at natural user interfaces for digital content production, GameStorm adds a variety of game construction kits containing tools and assets that target specific genres and game themes.

This collaboration is aimed at the publishing of all product releases going forward and the building of a game creator ecosystem.

Our Project

This funded project will deliver the first iteration in a suite of complementary game creation toolkits targeting non-technical gamers or anyone interested in quickly and simply creating original collaborative games with, and for, their friends. Users will need to have a VR set up, and they are initially targeting a low cost Meta Quest release, and releasing that alongside a PCVR release so that users can import assets and create more expansive and original experiences.

The existing Meta product release plan is for a series of game genre toolkits all based upon the FirstStage platform, and to offer additional downloadable content to buy to expand what game makers can use to create original games.

Following the major success of game creation products such as Minecraft and Roblox, the developers wish to exploit the appetite amongst gamers, but to liberate the users to deliver their ideas, both in terms of gameplay and graphical style.

Expertise Sought

With the grant supporting a target release date of end of February 2025 on the Meta platform, the developers seek an experienced publisher that can successfully bring that product, and future products to a global market.

The partner will be self-funding and contribute all go-to-market costs in return for a percentage of revenue.

Other Opportunities

They are also looking for partnerships / collaborations with IP holders interested in funding themed product releases.

With the opportunity to create packs based around any game genres and/or content theme, GameStorm provides the ideal opportunity to promote IP in a game environment, and allow the developer and creators to release viral hits.
