Neonga, the Berlin-based company recently established by ex-Frogster and Gamigo executives, signed an agreement to publish a cross-platform MMORPG from Eugene, Oregon's Mad Otter Games.
The unnanounced title will be deployed in a variety of formats, including a downloadable client, a browser-based title, a Facebook game, and a mobile device app. Formed in 2007 and led by Dynamix co-founder Damon Slye, Mad Otter previously released browser-based flight sim Ace of Aces.
Neonga (a portmanteau of "new online gaming") opened in July, and was established by Frogster Interactive's ex-CEO Rolf Kloppel. Frogster's former technical director Ben Kaiser, IT/Network director Mario Wengler, and marketing head Stefan Hinx have also joined the company.
The free-to-play publisher recently raised ?2 million ($2.8 million) in Series A funding from private investors like High-Tech Gr�nderfonds and VC Fund Creative Industries Berlin, which Neonga is using to develop its infrastructure, staff, catalog, and marketing.
"The Neonga Team consists of highly skilled experts in the online gaming business," says Mad Otter's Slye. "We at Mad Otter are convinced that we have found the perfect partner to make our games a great success and have a lot of fun on the way!"
