There's a new mobile developer in town, and its name is Juicy Button Games.
Based in Limassol, Cyprus, the studio has already raised $3 million in funding led by The Games Fund. The VC firm awarded £3 million (or $3.73 million) across 22 up-and-coming developers in the UK back in April.
Juicy Button is founded by Alexander Kravchuk, who created the mobile strategy game Total Battle; Anton Sinelnikov, design director of Pixel Gun 3D from Cubic Games (which he co-founded); and Aleksandr Zaytsev, co-founder of Mighty Party dev Panoramik.
Among the three men, their games have has reportedly earned $180 million-$220 million in revenue, and had 43M-190M lifetime downloads.
In the press release, Kravchuk revealed the trio's plans to launch a 4X mobile strategy game. That genre is mainly inhabited by games from Chinese studios, but Juicy Button aims to be a "worthy European challenger."
"Europe's game development scene is an untapped pool of opportunities," added TGF co-founder Ilya Karpinskiy. "
We [want] to connect outstanding gaming founders from overlooked regions with the global industry from the US to South Korea."
