Chilean Ace Team wins NGDC in Zurich

Ace Team wins NGDC qualifier in Zurich

Update: Follow the NGDC’s second season at discovery-contest.nordicgame.com!

The tenth Nordic Game Discovery Contest qualifier was held on 20 January as part of the Ludicious Games Festival in Zurich, Switzerland. The four participating contestants went on stage to pitch their game projects in front of an enthusiastic live audience as well as a select panel of experts.

After an intense pitch battle and following debate, the jury ultimately chose Chilean studio Ace Team and their game Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder, a fun four-player take on the tower defence genre, as the winner and tenth NGDC second season finalist.
 

Nordic Game’s Teddy Florea congratulating Ace Team.

Big congratulations to Ace Team and see you again for the Nordic Game Discovery Contest finals at Nordic Game 2018, 23-25 May in Malmö, Sweden. Also, a warm thank you to the organisers of Ludicious in Zurich!

About Appodeal
Appodeal was founded by app publishers for app publishers. Appodeal was originally created in 2011 as an in-house ad mediation solution for Alfa Production, a mobile apps publishing company with a monthly audience of 4M active users across all apps.

After experimenting with most of the ad networks, mediators, and app monetization tools on the market to monetize Alfa’s apps, founder & CEO Pavel Golubev was surprised to learn their in-house publisher-centric ad mediation platform actually performed the best — increasing their apps’ ad revenue by an impressive ~270{dbb3cda40e8ee6f6e2facf7540b719f895331d48c7dff096aeb64822bb190b9e}.

Golubev then realized that all mobile ad tools simply put the advertisers’ interests first, not the publishers. As a result, he decided to launch Appodeal to the public in 2015 — bringing the power back to the mobile app publishers.

Thanks to its innovative publisher-centric ad marketplace where ad networks compete against each other in real-time for every ad impression, Appodeal has significantly increased ad revenue for app publishers and has been growing rapidly ever since.

About Nordic Game Ventures
Nordic Game Ventures aims to grow great companies and secure future jobs while profiting from the greatest Nordic export industry success in ages, the games industry. Nordic Game Ventures is founded by ten Nordic games entrepreneurs and gamer entrepreneurs from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
