Flux Game Studio
Flux is a 20-people indie studio creating unique and solid IPs, this year we are presenting 3 awesome pc and console games: GUTS, Trenga Unlimited and Brutal League Soccer.
GUTS (Gory Ultimate Tournament Show) is a hilarious ultra-violent Tarantino-style over-the-top game where players must dismember each other by chopping off arms and legs. Lost a limb or two? Worry not, the fight continues even when there are just two little stumps, and it keeps going until one fighter emerges victorious after dismembering all the opponent’s four limbs!
Brutal League Soccer (BLS) is a brawl-soccer game that mixes the charming Brazilian mockery with bashing and skill: goals are not enough - you need to smash your rival’s face and laugh at it. All of this in the same rich universe of fantasy and dystopia created for GUTS.
Trenga Unlimited is a strategy puzzle game, where you explore the bottom of the ocean, saving sea animals, known as Buddies that will aid you through your journey of fun! Trenga looks like Tetris meets Jenga and it is as fun as it sounds! The objective of the game is to fit all pieces in the right spots.

Gameplan
Business Marketing and Intelligence Consulting - Gameplan is a renowned global business consultancy specialized in helping game companies fulfill their potential with positive ROI. From small indie studios to giants like Bandai Namco, Innogames and Trion Worlds, our mission is to understand your challenges and propose solution that could also be executed by Gameplan. This could range from a simple regional traction test, monetization and KPI analysis to full publishing and distribution.
Communication and RP - In addition to Gameplan consulting services, our second business unit is actually catering for all communication and PR needs of our clients, in a global scale. From small projects to the full management of a global game launch, we have over 20 years of experience in the industry to make sure the targets are met and no investment goes to an uncertain destination.
Gameplan Fandom Management Framework (R)
Also, we are proudly announcing a new product - The Gameplan Fandom Management Framework, a solution to the current social media/community paradox.
What we see today in an average community management/social media strategy is what we call a vertical approach. Each channel being managed separately, with its own KPIs and content, slightly connected to the umbrella communication strategy. The challenge we have been observing across all indie developers we have relationships with is that there is not actual integration along those platforms.
That said, Gameplan group of social media scientists came up with a patent-pending strategy that achieves amazing results through a real paradigm change, transforming a vertical approach into a horizontal one. Obviously we can't describe the actual framework in detail, but what it does is:
Use a single point of contact for the fandom, integrating the other social media/communities into that single channel by creating a core group of non-company influencers. All communication is centralized, almost all content is user-generated, therefore increasing reach hundred-fold with the creation of a launch roadmap of actions and communication milestones based on a formula created to deliver the actual number of downloads needed, given a benchmarked conversion rate and LTV, that will create the desired revenue bottom line.
This is Gameplan's patent-pending fandom management framework, already proven and tested, and waiting for your company to join in - want to know more? Come and talk to us!
