TIGA, the tradeassociation representing the UK games industry, welcomes Fuzzy Frog as its
latest member.
The three-year-old game
development studio has a strong and experienced team. It provides work for hire
services in all aspects of game development in the mobile and console
space. And it says it always endeavours to deliver quality products on
time and budget.
Fuzzy Frog was founded in
2009 by Richard Flower who has been in the industry for 16 years, holding
various roles from Lead Programmer to Studio Head. It is an approved Sony
and Nintendo developer and it has grown to a full-time staff count of 10.
The company is currently
working in partnership with Virtually Free Ltd on a personal interactive
treatment application for the phobia of spiders.The mobile application
takes this common disorder and by using game design techniques, augmented
reality, and interactive 3D models makes the treatment more engaging and easily
accessible for those who struggle to access psychological treatment. Fuzzy Frog says the
project is an exciting departure from traditional games.
Richard Flower, director of Fuzzy Frog, said:
“We have chosen to
support TIGA as we share their vision to make the UK the best place in the
world to do games business. As the UK trade association they are fully involved
in and understand the wider issues that affect the business. In joining TIGA we
hope to raise our profile within the industry, and to benefit from the
experience of TIGA representatives and its members.”
Dr Richard Wilson, CEO of TIGA, said:
“Fuzzy Frog is an
ambitious company that has grown fast, yet organically, over the past three
years. We are impressed not only by its vision but its products and our members
will no doubt jump at the chance to take full advantage of its services. We
welcome Fuzzy Frog on board as TIGA members.”
