IP Extensions

IP Extensions help owners of characters, stories, comics, novels and brand worlds turn them into interactive content that can be experienced, remembered and extended over time.

Not just reusing assets, but thinking about how an IP should be experienced. Our own original IP took the same path: from a game to a novel, an OST, an art book and merchandise.

FAQ

Can we talk even if we don't have a complete idea yet?

Yes. Many projects start with only a goal or a theme in mind. We begin with the content and audience, then work together to identify the most suitable interactive format.

Does IP adaptation mean turning my character straight into a game?

Not necessarily. We start from the character, story and world itself, think about how the IP should be experienced and remembered, and then decide the right interactive format and direction together, rather than simply using the assets.

How long does a game project take, and what does it cost?

It depends on scope. A lightweight interactive campaign and a full mobile game are very different. After an initial conversation we propose comparable scopes and options based on your goals, content volume and timeline.

Can you help with just one stage, such as planning, artwork or development?

Yes. We can provide integrated services or support a specific part of the production, depending on the project's needs.
