RallyHere, a wholly-owned subsidiary of global video games company Hi-Rez Ventures, offers game developers a fully integrated product suite that covers all the key features necessary to build, operate, and maintain live service games across multiple platforms. The technology was developed over nearly 20 years within Hi-Rez Studios and has already been used by over 200 million gamers worldwide via titles such as SMITE/SMITE 2, Paladins, and Rogue Company.
ProbablyMonsters was founded in 2016 by former Bungie President and CEO, Harold Ryan. The company has a strong team of experienced and innovative game development leaders with a record of launching blockbuster projects. ProbablyMonsters’ mission is to unite, guide, and empower talented teams to redefine what it means to deliver exceptional games.
RallyHere will be utilized for the debut titles from two ProbablyMonsters development teams, Battle Barge and Hidden Grove.
“During our evaluation of potential service partnerships RallyHere stood out and impressed us with their proven track record of developing a platform built for games as a service capable of supporting customers at scale,” said Dean Johnson, Senior Engineering Director of Hidden Grove. “We were able to quickly incorporate their SDK and were using RallyHere in our playtesting within a sprint. The quality and speed of their technical support and guidance has been fantastic. We often talk in depth with the engineers who built the features and we look forward to shipping our game on their service platform."
“The partnership and collaboration we’ve experienced with the team from RallyHere has been world class,” said Sophie Huang, Technical Product Manager at ProbablyMonsters. “Our game teams, data insights, and operational teams are leveraging their technology, knowledge, and experience to accelerate our path to shipping. We meet regularly to share roadmaps and agree on strategies to improve gameplay outcomes and quality of the experience.”
“We asked each of our development teams to independently evaluate multiple Backend Service providers,” said Mark Subotnick, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at ProbablyMonsters. “The process was very thorough, and we thought it was likely that each team might prefer a different vendor since each game is different and has its own needs. However, RallyHere was chosen by each team independently. That really helped solidify for us that RallyHere was the best choice in the market."
“From our first conversations with ProbablyMonsters, it's been very clear that they have assembled a world-class team of game developers,” said Stewart Chisam, Founder & CEO at RallyHere. “We're very excited about the games that both Battle Barge and Hidden Grove are making, and honored that they have chosen us to power their backend infrastructure.”
