Secondhand Lands on Pixel Mine
Secondhand Lands, revealing a
fairy tale-themed casual MMOG that will be appearing on the
Pixel Mine portal: AUSTIN, TX
– June 27th, 2008 - Pixel Mine, Inc. and Callipygian Games, LLC. announced today
that Callipygian Games will utilize the Pixel Mine portal and Pixel Mine's
internal micro-payment transaction system for its debut title, Secondhand Lands.
Secondhand Lands, an edgy fairy-tale MMOG, will be the fourth title on the Pixel
Mine Portal.
Since the company’s inception in 2007, Pixel Mine has focused on providing
original and innovative content. The Austin-based developer plans on adding
three to four games to the portal each year, some of those coming from third
party independent developers such as Callipygian Games, LLC.
Bobby Thurman, founder of Callipygian Games and lead developer on Secondhand
Lands, confides, "We chose to work with Pixel Mine because they offered us the
best value for our company and our players. As an independent developer it is
very difficult to find a distribution deal that gives us a package with
everything we need to manage accounts and handle payments. Also, we are excited
to be working with another Austin company; this town is rich with talent and
services tailored for game creation."
"Having published independent titles ourselves, we know that the deck is stacked
in favor of the publisher," Pixel Mine President David Reese explains. “Our goal
with the Pixel Mine Portal is to provide a distribution model, economy, and
community management service which allows the independent developer to focus on
their game but still retain ownership of the IP and receive the majority of the
revenue for their hard work.”
