Trends tend to come and go, but it recent times we’ve seen quite a few indie development studios that did manage to come up with an excellent idea, so it’s no wonder big software companies tend to take such smaller businesses under their wings and make them their exclusive partners.
Microgaming has been leading the way for such ventures, as they’d recently introduced Gameburger, Pulse 8, All41, Switch Studios, Fortune Factory, Stormcraft, and Triple Edge, only to be rounded off by the latest addition known as Neon Valley Studios.
How did this collaboration even occur? Well, let’s get you back to the very beginnings…
The Cooperation
Even though it seems like unlikely cooperation between David and Goliath, it is a mutually beneficial one, and both parties seem equally excited about, as their recent statements show.
Brian Perego, the Senior Creative Technical Designer from Neon Valley Studios said: “At Neon Valley Studios, we are dedicated to producing polished games of the highest quality, injecting our knowledge of slot design through the synergistic integration of game mechanics, visuals, and the latest technology. Our relentless drive to create engaging gaming experiences for players is founded on our passion for games and the latest technological developments. We are delighted to bring ‘the spirit of Vegas’ to Microgaming on an exclusive basis, with Aurora Wilds marking the first wave of exciting content to come from Neon Valley Studios.”
On the other hand, John Coleman, CEO at Microgaming couldn’t really hide his excitement: “Our studio's strategy is designed to bring greater choice, innovation, and quality to the market. Neon Valley has years of collective gaming industry knowledge and expertise, not to mention their own distinctive style and personality, and we are delighted to add them to our global roster of independent game studios.”
Who Are These Guys?
Neon Valley Studios is a team of immensely skilled professionals with plenty of experience in the iGaming industry.
What’s in a name? Well, they claim that their mission is to bring the glamour of Las Vegas to the non-US markets. They aim to produce highly creative and innovative games that will capture that Vegas strip spirit and present it via a fully immersive gaming experience. When they mention the raw energy and beauty of the Mojave Desert along with the bright lights and the sounds of Fremont Street you simply know that they mean business.
To put it short, Neon Valley Studios seems like a clever little bunch that keeps their finger on the industry pulse and shows great promise when it comes to developing top notch games.
The Flashy Debut
Neon Valley Studios has only one game released so far, but it comes out strong with stunning visuals and exceptional design features. It is called Aurora Wilds and it will serve as the potent vehicle to proper Neon Valley straight up to the stars.
James Buchanan, the Director of Global Operations at Microgaming had only nice things to say about the game: “Aurora Wilds is an enchanting addition to the Microgaming portfolio that features exciting game mechanics with respins and jackpots. The team at Neon Valley have set themselves a high bar with this superb debut slot, which includes absorbing visuals and sounds and has excellent win potential.”
Brian Perego, whom we’d already mentioned earlier, had this to add: ”We’re delighted to see our first creation go live across Microgaming’s extensive operator network. Aurora Wilds pays homage to one of nature’s most amazing phenomena and is designed to captivate and reward players with fluid gameplay and big jackpots.”
Game(s)
As mentioned earlier, we can really speak of games here, as Neon Valley Studios only has one game released so far. Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why we couldn’t find that much info on the software company, and once we’d snooped around their website we came to the conclusion that there are surely some new games coming soon. 
So now, let’s just focus on Aurora Wilds and all the good stuff it brings about.
This is what its creators claim: “Aurora Wilds is a trip back to nature that paints a beautiful picture of native lands and majestic spirit animals. Northern lights glimmer across the sky and sounds emit a magnetically colorful array of atmosphere, subtlety, and high charged wins. Based on a successful formula, Aurora Wilds was designed with familiarity and fun in mind. Fans of this popular formula will enjoy the captivating art and wonderfully stylized totem animals, each one capturing the character, power, and unique strength of each of these magnificent creatures.”
Aurora Wilds goes back to the ethnic roots of the Indian tribes and rides high on their rich cultural heritage and countless customs.
The first time you load it you will be greeted by the mountains, and the rivers, and, of course, Aurora Borealis, while the overall gaming experience is quite a soothing one, not least because of the relaxing soundtrack.
Full of complex details, the game features many animals as its symbols, and they’re all stylized as if they came right from a totem. The symbols include a moose, rabbit, eagle, fish, and turtle, along with the more traditional red number 7 and the BAR icon. It has 10 paylines, but it pays both ways.
Conclusion
When all is said and done, Neon Valley Studios is a shiny bright little sky in the vast iGaming sky, and it’s surely got some promising times coming ahead, especially when you consider the fact that even their baby steps were taken under the watchful eye of Microgaming. Aurora Wilds is a terrific game and it shows that these guys will have many fans all around the world.
