Having announced an aggressive expansion plan, Gamevil (KOSDAQ 063080) has made its first developer investment.
It hasn't given hard figures but it has made 'an equity investment' into Korean start-up Relax Games.
Set up by the team behind PC MMOG Rohan and Lineage II, Relax is the first participant in Gamevil's Companion program.
Priming the wick
Relex's first project is an untitled social-network game that will utilise Gamevil's Circle social network
"Participating in Gamevil's start-up support program has instilled confidence through its strong development and publishing know-how," said Relax's CEO Il Seung Lee.
"The investment will not only strengthen the quality of our games, but provide a good measure on how developers and publishers can collaborate together."
