VAGames is a mobile game development company founded in 2019 by CEO Son Beom-seok and other core developers from the online game 'Closers'. The company specializes in creating subculture genre games, particularly turn-based action role-playing games (RPGs), which are noted for high user loyalty and potential for global market expansion.
The firm's technical expertise lies in its high-quality 3D cartoon rendering technology, which combines the Unity engine with a proprietary rendering engine to maximize character imagery and create dynamic, action-oriented gameplay with varied 3D perspectives. Their flagship title, 'Outerplane', is a character-collection strategy RPG that was launched globally in May 2023, followed by a Japanese release in May 2024. VAGames operates on a publishing partnership model, having signed contracts with Smilegate Megaport for 'Outerplane' and another for 'Project MAIDEN'.
The company has secured multiple rounds of funding. In March 2022, VAGames raised an undisclosed seed amount from Kakao Ventures, Kona Venture Partners, and Infinitum. This was followed by another investment round in February 2024 from Knet Investment Partners, Atinum Investment, and Com2uS. These funds are aimed at attracting talent and building a robust development infrastructure.
