Odobo released many interesting projects on the global gaming market, but ended up closing down. The company’s games were characterised by high quality graphics, interesting plots, excellent prospects and high potential, but they could not withstand the heat of the competitive race.
Odobo brand has never been on a par with such legends of the gaming market as NetEnt, Play’n GO, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, but this company produced a high-quality product. You could not often find the brand’s games in casinos, but some large operators (Mr Green in particular) offered software developed by Odobo.
The company came into the world in 2012, offering a unique concept of its product. Aim for the developer set a good thing – to reduce the cost and simplify the development and marketing of online games.
The brand founder saw that many small companies generate great ideas, but can not translate them into reality due to underdeveloped technology, lack of funding due to non-compliance with the requirements of jurisdictions. So the idea was born to create a company that could take care of most of the problems, giving developers the opportunity to implement their ideas with minimal cost – time, labor and financial.
It was under this brand that GDK (Games Development Kit) was released to create HTML5 games. The games were created with a Random Number Generator, certified by renowned testing labs, a powerful engine, which provided access to regulated markets. Many other solutions have been created under this brand, making the integration of games on casino sites more convenient and faster. It took the company several million dollars and 1.5 years of work to achieve the first results.
Under the Odobo brand a lot of unique game simulators have seen the light, causing unprecedented interest among players. It is not specifically about the games of this company, but about the projects created on its platforms. One of the most interesting and unusual slots, released relatively recently – Stereo Miami.
Separate attention and one of the first slots company, – Akanerio. Released in 2014, the slot was a real breakthrough in its direction. According to reviews of gamers, it is a unique, fantastic project – with a style sustained to the smallest detail, impeccable design. Even today, when the competition among gaming projects seems to have reached its apogee, this four-year-old slot looks very solid.
Other gaming projects worthy of close attention from gamers include the groovy KGB Bears, The Ante Engine, Rampage Riches, The Oddventurers, Extinction. This list goes on for a long time – the platform for creating games from Odobo was used by many developers, many of whom please their fans even today – Fuga Gaming, Foxium, Core Gaming, Rabcat and others.
Interestingly, until the very last moment the company’s work was appreciated: during its existence Odobo has been awarded many prizes: so, in 2014 according to EGR the company received the title Services Rising Star, in September of the same year already Global Gaming Awards nominated Odobo for Digital Gaming Innovation. A year later, the company received two more nominations and won in the mobile software category. And nothing foretold trouble – the company released new games (not only slots), created contests, took part in exhibitions, was nominated, recruited partners, only to… close in May 2016.
At a certain point, Odobo began to make a loss. In fact, that is why the company closed down – according to the developers, the costs increased much faster than the business expanded.
But there’s no need to be discouraged – Odobo has taken the baton from the renowned brand Yggdrasil, which announced the launch of a unique platform, YGS Masters, on March 8 to make life easier for independent developers. The platform will be available exclusively to invited studios, add to that a strict quality control, and… we can only hope that the first experimental results of YGS Masters will make us happy. In the meantime, we have to wait for the first news.
