Officially launched today, Mudstack is a first-of-its-kind Digital Asset Management (DAM) system specifically for game studios and digital artists who increasingly need to work collaboratively across multiple projects, locations, and even timezones. The Mudstack platform combines cloud storage, artist-friendly version control, and an integrated review and feedback feature. Itallows art teams to rapidly increase their pace of iteration and progress, wasting less time hunting for files and feedback and wondering which version is the right one for any given file.

Founder Jordan Stevens explained why the team felt there was a need for a platform like Mudstack. “Digital art teams face a unique set of challenges when it comes to producing, managing, and reviewing assets. Their use of multiple tools often results in a disconnect between the various stages of a project, and as companies expand, this situation becomes more complex. Cheaper solutions that once worked fail at scale, leading to significant productivity loss and delayed launches that can cost over six figures.”

Canadian-based VR Vision develops VR-based training solutions for enterprises, and it found that Mudstack made an immediate difference. “We struggled to scale our pipeline once our development team quickly grew from a single developer to ten. Sharing assets on a local network drive or Google Drive can be tedious, especially for iterating and making changes. We needed a version control solution for assets so we could still access the old asset if a change happened accidentally. Mudstack has solved this through its ability to create workspaces per project, isolating the clutter happening in one place with the ability to add tags and libraries that sit on top of folder structures, with non-destructive file-based versioning,” said Karan Sharma, Art Manager at VR Vision.

Mudstack is free for anyone to start using and collaborating across teams, giving unlimited users the ability to collaboratively view files. Paid plans start at $19/mo per admin user and include unlimited artists, 4TB+ cloud storage, and access controls.

Mudstack has been developing its platform in close partnership with both indie and AA game studios, ensuring the tool meets their needs, improves efficiency and productivity, and puts artists’ needs at the forefront of its design. No other platform combines features that allow digital artists to onboard an existing project in a matter of hours, streamline workflows, and easily integrate collaboration. Its key features include:

Centralized cloud storage for source files, so there is no need to use external cloud storage software

  • Preview 3D files (FBX, OBJ, GLTF) without downloading and opening

  • Tag and filter files for easy searching

  • Control access to content to protect IP if working with external vendors

  • Group files in multiple collections without duplicating or worrying about folder structures

  • Utilize AWS for all systems and storage

Review and provide feedback directly in art files rather than using external workflow tools

  • Request reviews by tagging other users directly in the file

  • Easily assign change requests and provide approvals on files

  • Mark up files with the built-in annotation tool

Version control that doesn’t require locking and branching, so artists don’t have to use developer tools

  • File-based versioning rather than product-based, so artists don’t have to deal with irrelevant conflicts

  • Roll back to older versions at any time without deleting or overwriting anything

  • View the history of each file with a single source of versions kept in the cloud

  • Manage versions locally and share only the versions needed

3 Pigs of the Caribbean

Hams Ahoy! The iconic trio return for a pirate-themed Hold & Win adventure

Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, has unveiled 3 Pigs of the Caribbean, the latest and most ambitious instalment in its hit Pigs series. Following the runaway success of 3 Pigs of Olympus, the notorious trio return for a high-seas escapade packed with charm, humour, and treasure-filled potential.

Set against sun-drenched islands and creaking pirate ships, 3 Pigs of the Caribbean invites players to join the three swashbuckling pigs on their hunt for fortune. Every spin feels like a roll of the waves, as the pigs dig, hoard, and plunder their way across the reels in search of glittering rewards. Played across a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, this high-volatility Hold & Win slot captures the thrill of adventure with its dynamic mix of prize collection, grid expansion, and feature upgrades.

At the heart of the game is the Bonus Hold & Win Game, triggered by landing six or more Prize Coin symbols or a combination of Prize and Pig Coins. Once activated, players set sail on a bonus round that can expand to a 5×5 grid, where every spin offers new treasures to uncover. Each of the three Pig Coins brings its own brand of mischief and reward: the Red Pig expands the grid and adds new win possibilities, the Yellow Pig boosts prizes with multipliers of up to x10 and can award random values of up to 100x the total bet, while the Blue Pig adds extra respins and can also deliver random values of up to 100x the bet.

Adding to the chaos is the Mystery Pig, which can transform into any of the three Pig Coins to trigger surprise upgrades mid-bonus. Meanwhile, the Collector Chest feature keeps the base game brimming with activity, scooping up the values of Prize Coin symbols as they land. The brand-new Prize Gem system adds long-term treasure hunting to the mix, with four collectible tiers: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand – each unlocked through colour-coded progress bars. When a bar is filled, a matching Prize Gem drops onto the grid, delivering a haul worthy of the high seas.

With an RTP of up to 95.81% and a rich tapestry of features that blend instant rewards with long-term engagement, 3 Pigs of the Caribbean represents a major evolution in the Pigs franchise, and one of Gaming Corps’ most feature-packed titles to date.

Viacheslav Pechernyi, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “The Pigs have become a cornerstone of our portfolio and a player favourite around the world. With 3 Pigs of the Caribbean, we wanted to take everything that made the series successful – fun characters, smart mechanics, and big win potential, and send them on their most daring voyage yet. We can’t wait to see how it performs.”

Elantil, the disruptive platform solutions provider that’s rewriting the playbook for operators with its strategic iGaming backbone, has announced that it has further enhanced the range of options available via its online marketplace after partnering with Playnetic.

Having only launched in 2023, Playnetic has rapidly established itself as one of the industry’s go-to B2B content providers due to its unwavering reliability and exceptional customer service. Dedicated to providing immersive entertainment experiences, Playnetic has established three in-house studios that work closely with their commercial team to understand operator and partner requirements.

As such a partner-oriented content provider, Playnetic will undoubtedly prove another welcome addition to Elantil’s Marketplace, with all operators now being free to reach out to the game provider directly and form their own simple, flexible agreements without Elantil dictating any of the terms.

By partnering with Elantil, Playnetic gains a platform that puts freedom, agility and control back at the heart of their operations. Elantil’s modular, API-first architecture enables swift market entry and reduces the delays that legacy systems often impose. Operators are able to launch new titles such as Piggy Plunder and Joxer, as well as brands or markets much faster, avoid rigid revenue-share burdens and minimise integration complexity and hidden costs.

Moreover, direct access to Playnetic’s immersive games portfolio means operators can refresh and diversify their lobbies, engage with players and scale into new markets with confidence.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “With Elantil’s Marketplace redefining the way that operators and suppliers do business, we’re delighted to be adding Playnetic to our growing list of integrations. As one of the most partner-focused B2B content providers around, our operators can now contact them directly to form bespoke deals that truly benefit their business.”
