Bidstack partner with popular farm simulation game Goodville
Bidstack, the leading in-game advertising platform, has announced an exclusive new partnership with Stork Limited for the popular farming game Goodville. The partnership will see Bidstack’s lightweight SDK integrated into the title allowing ads to be served seamlessly onto banners and billboards around the game’s virtual world without intruding on the playing experience.
Goodville is a farm adventure game that blends farm simulation with an emotional wellbeing app which is designed to improve wellness amongst gamers. Players work to renovate their farm and slowly discover more about Goodville, meeting characters that assist them as they work through in-game challenges and explore the game’s map. It was developed in collaboration with neurophysiologists and psychiatrists based on clinical research and is available to players on iOS and Android devices. The title is popular with gamers in the US, Canada, Germany, France and the UK and has been downloaded more than 1m times since it first launched.
Stork Limited is a leading mobile game publisher with an experienced team that have overseen more than 40 product releases to a combined audience of more than 210m gamers. By integrating Bidstack’s technology Stork Limited are creating a new, sustainable revenue stream that complements their existing monetisation strategies and respects the experience of their audience.
Of the new partnership Mikhail Mironchik, Product Marketing Manager at Goodville said “We are very excited to explore this opportunity together with our new partner Bidstack. Native in-game ads are more likely to be seen in AAA games on PC or console in games, and for us this has been a process of discovery in previously uncharted territory.
During our negotiation process with Bidstack – we found their offering to be a perfect fit in terms of our audience and the range of advertisers Bidstack have relationships with. We hope with this partnership that we can widen the boundaries of a “classic” mobile advertising approach. As Buzz Lightyear once said – to infinity and beyond!”
Manpreet Kaur, Partnerships Manager at Bidstack added “We’re really pleased to be working with Stork Limited on Goodville and to add a new simulation game to our growing portfolio of titles. Our aim now will be to deliver the best user experience possible with in-game branding that is designed to enhance the playing experience.”

Ten Square Games starts technical release for Medal Hunter ahead of global launch
Ten Square Games has begun a phased rollout for Medal Hunter, a new mobile PvP shooter for iOS and Android. The title entered technical release on 4 May, with global availability planned around the turn of May and June, subject to further improvements.
The initial rollout covers Mexico, Vietnam, the Philippines and Poland. Ten Square Games said this stage is focused on verifying technical KPIs and performance stability, while the team fine-tunes gameplay parameters.
Around mid-May, Medal Hunter is expected to move into a broader soft launch, with gradual availability in Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The company said the focus will then shift to validating short-term retention and engagement.
Medal Hunter is set in combat environments inspired by different historical periods, with architecture and weapons “strongly influenced” by real references but stylized for mobile play. At launch, the game includes five locations, and players compete in short PvP rounds by eliminating moving targets including aircraft and naval units, using two different shooting models.
CEO Andrzej Ilczuk said the project builds on Ten Square Games’ development approach used for Trophy Hunter: “Medal Hunter is an example of how we are putting our growth strategy into practice. Trophy Hunter helped us build a new development model based on clear benchmarks, early validation and a better understanding of the signals that matter before scaling a product. Medal Hunter capitalizes on that experience and on the broader product knowledge we have built across our portfolio. By using proven gameplay mechanics and working in this model, we were able to bring a new title to market in less than a year from the start of development. This gives us earlier insight into a game’s potential, helps limit development risk and allows us to shape products more closely around what players actually respond to”.
