Nova Scotia Business Inc., a business development agency who assists local companies and attracts international companies to Nova Scotia, Canada, created a company profile of Xona Games. We wanted to share pieces of it with you:
Xona Games:
Xona Games is an indie game studio in touch with true fans. The company focuses on video game development for Xbox 360, PC, and Zune. Xona Games is currently working on an Xbox 360 game, and have plans to port it to the PC and Zune.
Competitive advantage:
Xona Games is an indie game studio in touch with true fans of the game’s genre and actively engages in fan opinion during development which avoids common pitfalls. The company researches what works instead of implementing ideas in hopes they work.
Xona Games avoids commitments to final release dates and deadlines. The game’s quality is first priority and is never sacrificed via marketing pressures.
Xona Games philosophy is “power to the player”. Aspects of a game become the gamer’s tool, and the company designs the best tool possible, which maximizes gamer accomplishment. This allows quick and advanced skill development and maximizes gamer satisfaction.
Ultimately, Xona Games is trying to make the most fun game possible, in the given genre.
