About
DECA Games operates with a unique customer-centric approach, focusing on breathing new life into beloved games that might otherwise be sunsetted by their original developers. Many players invest years into these games, building communities and creating lasting memories. Our customers face the potential loss of these virtual worlds and the communities they've become a part of when original developers can no longer support them. This is why DECA Games steps in. We are an indie publisher completely focused on live operations and games as a service, taking over and reinvigorating games as they age. Our team understands that players are not just customers, but passionate fans. We listen to what our fans want and keep them constantly updated with what we are working on. This commitment ensures that the loyal fans of our games receive a continual cycle of entertainment and excitement, creating a unique experience they can find nowhere else. Our process involves expert analysis, where we couple our vast experience in free-to-play design and operations with data analysis to find new opportunities to grow and improve the game. We work to understand what's working and what isn't to inform how we manage the game. Even if a game has a complex, years-old codebase with no documentation, our flexible development approach allows us to take it on. We recognize that live events are a key piece to long-term retention and improved engagement, and we excel at implementing these. By focusing on strong communities, we've been able to successfully operate and enhance games like Realm of the Mad God, Knights & Dragons, Zombie Catchers, and DragonVale. We believe games can last for decades, and our entire company and its approach are built around that belief. We treat each game and its players with respect, ensuring they are in good hands with us. This dedication to the player experience and the longevity of games is what defines DECA Games and our mission to keep these established titles thriving for their dedicated communities.
