PiKoYa and Construct 3
Pikoya is a massive content and publishing force, entertaining hundreds of millions of users worldwide
every day with an extensive collection of niche websites showcasing tens of thousands of play-on-site
games, reviews, blog posts, articles, and authentic content assets.
With over a decade of User Acquisition expertise for the world's biggest gaming brands, Pikoya set up an
in-house indie games studio in 2020 - Monstera Games Studio. Focusing on web-based casual games and
mobile apps, they set out with a massive ambition - to create outstanding, original games that can
redefine the HTML 5 gaming experience.
Challenge: Finding and choosing the right engine
When looking for an engine to develop Monstera Games with, there were a few key parameters to
consider:
- An engine that supports and provides stable web builds.
- Easy to learn with minimal technical barriers but also integrates with code files.
- Seamlessly integrates and supports all the publishing and monetization tools and add-ons.
After reviewing and testing some of the top engines in the industry, Monstera Games Studio decided to
start its journey with Construct 3.
The leading 2D game engine proved pivotal. It provided an ideal platform for developing medium-scale
HTML5 games, especially for 2D gaming. Construct 3's accessibility empowered experienced developers
and interns to create games from scratch without complex coding, allowing Monstera Games Studio its
initial kickstart.
Impact: Scaling Up
Starting from only a handful of games, Construct 3 has helped Monstera Games rapidly scale up its
portfolio, with 250 original games released within a year and a half.
The rapid growth and scale of Monstera Games Studio have accomplished them by being chosen by
Google among the selected few to kickstart their latest product, Google's AdSense for Platforms, which
resulted in launching their very own games platform, the Monstera Games Platform.
Future: Boundless Horizons
Construct 3's influence continues to drive Monstera Games Studio's ambitions. With a commitment to
pushing creative boundaries and exploring Construct 3's potential, the studio aims to create innovative
games that leave a lasting impact on the gaming community.
Monstera Games Studio's journey exemplifies Construct 3's transformative role. By offering an accessible
and versatile platform, Construct 3 empowered the studio to realize its gaming aspirations and the
partnership continues to drive future innovation.
