Gamelabs
GameLabs is a company founded in 2008 in Germany by six people. GameLabs moved its base of operations to Malaysia in 2010 with the aim of expanding into South East Asia.
The company develops browser-based games, the first being Quests of Gallendor, which hit 1 million users on July 2009. GameLabs have since developed and published more browser-based games, such as Gallendor Battlegrounds, a strategy-based title andTreasures of Deepire, a game inspired by the recent pirate craze.
Their games have been translated into German, Polish, Arabic, Italian, Spanish and English and released in their respective regions.
Business models
100% Business Revenue Sharing Model
This is a model where GameLabs and its clients share 100% on revenue gained from sales of in-game virtual items. The partnership may involve the marketing and advertising on the partner's side of a GameLabs title or license, while GameLabs maintains the technical aspects, such as server maintenance and database administration.
Channeling Model
With the GameLabs Channeling Model, users visiting a portal or gaming website owned by a client will be channeled to a GameLabs web browser-based game. The advantage for the client is that they will not have to perform significant recoding of their website to implement interactive games.
White Labeling Model
GameLabs uses a white labeling model for its business. GameLabs develop their games with the aim of licensing the game titles to their partners. The partners will handle marketing and branding while GameLabs will provide tech support, updates and upgrades.
