When did you initially fall in love with gaming?
I loved the mechanics of a real-time strategy (RTS) game, and spent countless hours playing.
When you initially started Overwolf in 2010 you had a big ambition to build apps for all gamers.
Could you tell us about these early genesis days, such as what inspired you to launch Overwolf?
What inspired this pivot?
As I just mentioned, we started as creators ourselves, building apps for the games we played.
So, we decided to pivot and build an open framework.
Today, Overwolf is the guild for in-game creators.
Can you discuss how Overwolf enables developers to create, distribute, and monetize apps for existing games?
Passionate gamers who were also techies chimed in and helped in the creation of content for their favorite games.
But, up until today, these creators were scattered, isolated, and out of the spotlight.
Millions of gamers enjoy their creations, but they dont get the credit or the compensation for it.
They lack the advanced tools, the distribution, or the resources AAA developers already have.
Overwolf is changing that by being the all-in-one platform for in-game creators.
Aside from the tech platform, Overwolf offers creators a lot of resources to get started and stay focused.
What are some of the notable apps that have been created on the Overwolf platform?
Tracker Networks R6 Tracker app is also one of the most popular Rainbow Six Siege apps on Overwolf.
What key in of apps/games are generally more popular?
While we cant share commercial details, download numbers are public and often reflect the most successful apps.
Overwolf partnered with Intel to create a fund to empower developers to create apps on the Overwolf platform.
What are the things that you look for when reviewing applications?
We want to verify that the team thats going to take the challenge has everything they need to succeed.
What are some traits that make some developers more successful on the platform than others?
In return, the market rewards them with more downloads, more shares, and more positive mentions.
Is there anything else that you would like to share about Overwolf?
We’re here for the long run and would love to serve as many creators as we can.
