One of the emerging trends for larger iPhone developers is to become publishers.
The latest to announce its going to be upscaling in this manner is French studio Bulkypix, best known for its My Brute game.
Although it has yet announced specific partners or titles, COO Vincent Dondaine has revealed it has five companies already signed up, with more than six games spread across the casual, platform and arcade genres to be released in the run up to Christmas 2009.
Significant, the company is also standardising around the OpenFeint social networking technology, which seems to be current platform of choice with developers following its adoption by the likes of Digital Chocolate.
"The iPhone and App Store have marked a new direction in terms of market and business model, whereby hundreds of applications and games are available every day. You need to know how to operate within this system; something that Bulkypix has gained real expertise in and which it is now offering for the benefit of its partners," explains Dondaine of the new strategy.
