About
Lockwood Publishing is an award-winning independent UK mobile games company, renowned for creating Avakin Life, a vibrant 3D social universe. Our customers, a global community of over 250 million registered users, seek a space where they can freely express their authentic selves, connect with others, and explore boundless creativity. Many users find traditional social platforms limiting or desire more immersive and customizable experiences. Avakin Life directly addresses this by providing a rich, interactive world where players can design unique avatars, personalize their own apartments with a vast array of items, and engage in a multitude of social activities, from parties to collaborative events. We understand that our players value self-expression and community, which is why we continuously strive to expand the possibilities within Avakin Life, offering over 60,000 virtual items for customization and fostering a dynamic environment where new friendships can blossom and shared experiences are paramount. Our commitment is to build unreal places for authentic people, creating a reality where individuality is celebrated and social connections flourish. We recognize the challenge players face in finding online spaces that are both engaging and safe. Therefore, we prioritize creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Lockwood Publishing's vision extends beyond just a game; we aim to cultivate a collaborative, user-driven platform that is accessible to everyone. We are constantly innovating, exploring new technologies like AI-driven A/B testing to enhance user experience and engagement. Our players are at the heart of everything we do, and their desire for a dynamic, evolving, and deeply social virtual world drives our development and future aspirations. We are dedicated to empowering our community to play, share, and socialize in a universe that truly belongs to them, constantly seeking new ways to enrich their digital lives and provide a platform for meaningful interaction and self-discovery.
