Outspark Blog

Today’s a big day for Outspark, as we’re proud to finally announce our Series B round and a new partner, Tencent. There’s already a lot of coverage out there including this lengthy interview with the folks at Gamasutra, during which Outspark founder/CEO Susan Choe and Chief Studio Officer Nick Foster discuss the formation of the company, Outspark’s goals and why it’s a good time to build a virtual playground and deliver the kind of games we currently offer.
