Description
Homa Games, a company based in France, specialising in technologies for video game developers, has recently completed a new round of fundraising, worth $100 million (€103 million). The resources will be used to accelerate the company's development and to recruit 100 people over the next 12 months.
Homa Games has developed a technology platform that helps game studios to detect new trends, develop ideas, conduct real-time user tests for improving gameplay, develop a monetisation strategy and launch games at the right time. This platform will help in reducing game development timeframes from months to weeks.
Homa Games plans to continue the technological development of its platform and to acquire additional companies. It currently employs 160 people.
