Two days ago, Nightspade, a company from Bandung that develops games for mobile devices in various platforms announced via Twitter about the availability of their game for Android.
Stack The Stuff is the name of the game application that now is available for Android users. The 1.0 version from this game can be downloaded for free and needs at least Android 2.2 version. Stack The Stuff has been discussed on DailySocial for several times. One of them is related to the game/application about education.
DailySocial ever visited to Nightspade studio in Bandung and recorded the informal interview with them. Nightspade is also one of the East Ventures portfolio in game besides SoybeanSoft that recently gets investment from EV.
Stack The Stuff gets good response when it was launched. I tried to contact Garibaldy Wibowo Mukti, Nightspade Chief Marketing Officer, and he stated that Stack The Stuff game has been downloaded for about 30.000 times on iOS platform, although he didn’t mention which version it is because this game is available for free and paid version.
Nightspade in some interview also stated that they are not only developing games for iOS but also for other platforms such as Android and so on. Gari also explained that they released Stack The Stuff for Android version as their branding strategy and to get revenue from advertisement.
Android version is available with advertisement. Gari added that this system is applied based on the research they have done, which shown that the appropriate monetizing system for Android version is by adds.
If on the iOS version they provide ‘in app purchase’ as donation that can be accessed by user from $0.99, $1.99, and $4.99. However, Nightspade will not provide in app donation for the Android version. The revenue will come only from advertisements.
Another game developed by Nightspade won the application competition held by Blaast. The announcement was available about two weeks ago. And this Studio has just released their newest game on iOS entitled Mad Warrior (the version for Android will come soon). When I pay attention on this game, the visual characters remind me to one of the martial art figure from Indonesia.
