GirlsGoGames Success Story
Anyone that ever dabbled in the flash games market must have heard
at some point about SPIL Games – the Holland-based company is one of the industry’s mammoths,
boasting some 50 websites in 19 different languages, their entire portfolio bringing in –
are you ready? – 130 million monthly unique visitors.
While the casual games market is still an open contest, with various large sites fighting for huge chunks of
traffic but never really reaching a monopoly, SPIL completely dominates the girl
games market with its GirlsGoGames franchise.
And since girl and kids games are our specialty it wasn’t long before IDEA’s
and SPIL’s paths crossed – we started developing games for GirlsGoGames in
December 2009 and gradually rose to become one of their main gamedev studios,
creating a large chunk of their monthly original IP.
This collaboration however was not bred by luck – we had a small order of games from SPIL to
attend to at first, but our dedication and the expansion of our flash gaming department
allowed us to create more games with each batch, constantly increasing their quality and polish.
The range of games we’ve produced for them over the last months is quite large and includes classics
such as dressups and makeovers, but also more complex games such as hairstyling, nail design,
facial beauty, decoration or cooking games.
As of 2011 we’re currently involved in a long term relationship with SPIL and we’re proud to say
that the games we develop for them are constantly reaching the popularity tops on their websites
and that in itself is a great warranty for us that we’re producing quality stuff in our small studio!
SPIL Games has been working together with IDEA Studios since late 2009.
We are especially satisfied with the flexibility of the team, and the fact that
they are always open for feedback and constantly eager to learn from past experiences.
They are very devoted to their work and they really try to deliver the best possible
quality to their client. Fast in communication, and open about any issues or struggles,
IDEA Studios is a real pleasure to work with. They are well on their way to
become the expert in girl game development!

Dressupgames.com Success Story
Dressupgames.com is the first ever girl games website on the internet
and it has been like that since '98. Inga approached us this year
after hearing about our good deeds (:P) and thought of re-doing the
design and the CMS of her website. We can proudly say that her testimonial
is proof of what and how we worked together and with this chance we invite
you to try it as well.
Here's what Inga wrote in her testimonial :):
When it was time for Dress Up Games to get a major makeover,
I knew that the team at Idea Studios were the right choice for me. They have lots
of experience designing for flash games websites in general and dress-up games in
particular which made the whole process so much easier for me.
I'm extremely happy with not only how the website looks,
but how much easier it is to work on the site with the content management
system I have now. I can glady and with confident recommend Dani and the team at
iDEA Studios, knowing that they will always to their best to make their clients happy!

Dressupwho Success Story
Dressupwho and us go way back - right from when we first started
working in the flash games market. Back then we used to have a couple
of girl games websites and as we started looking for partners to
cross-publish games with, we stumbled upon
Dressupwho.com, one of
the largest, most respectable names in the industry at that point.
The site’s owner, Aaron Wong, had already managed to establish a solid brand
around the site back in 2007, with huge chunks of search engine traffic on
important keywords, a resonating brand name and a plethora of partners
knocking on his door in order to get their games published.
Starting out as a simple cross-publishing games partnership, our relationship
with Dressupwho gradually rose to the point where we were entrusted to develop
several of the site’s games – the focus was on quality rather than quantity and
some of the games we made were amongst the most well-received on the site’s
English-speaking community.
Having had a great working experience together, Aaron contacted us shortly after
with a new project –
Dressupwho.com needed a facelift as well as some backend
engineering and our studio was first on the list of candidates when the time
came to get things rolling. We handled the back-end development, having received
a beautiful, yet tricky design to implement and we’re proud to say that the final
result was steaming hot. Here’s what Aaron has to say about us:
These guys are amazing. Very responsible people. We had a small issue with
some details dragging my project on when Dani was gone for vacation.
When he got back, Dani worked on the project directly to get it done.
I am working with these guys again. Great quality work. A++

PlayFunMedia Success Story
This partnership started somewhere in June 2010 when IDEA studios (us)
sold one of our websites (
www.smalldressup.com )
to Trent Lake, an US business man currently doing business in Thailand.
After the purchase was made and everything was set Trent asked us to do several things like
flash games for his newly bought website or new websites from scratch and we couldn't just
say no and that led to a more than 6 months partnership and counting.
We had a few more websites made (www.dressupluv.com, www.zeemo.com) and quite a few
flash games. Here is what Trent thinks of us:
Hello, I just wanted to say how great Dani and the whole team at Idea Studios has
been for Play Fun Media. From game development to website design, and now even our
marketing management partnership. Everyone has always been patient, professional, and friendly.
They are always quick to answer questions as well as keeping me informed of progress at all times.
I appreciate that you always strive for the best quality in all the work that you do.
I look forward to our continuing and growing partnership with your talented team. Thank you Idea Studios!

SkybreezeGames Success Story
Skybreezegames.com has been around the dress up games area for quite some
time now and if you're in this business you most likely exchanged emails with
Bree Votava.
We had been exchanging emails for sometime in 2010 when Bree asked about a possible
upgrade to her website. She needed a simple system to let her manage all game submissions,
low server load and easy to use and friendly.
After the first project was done (
skybreezegames.com )
Bree gave us another shot and we did 2 more websites together:
www.dressupcraze.com
and
www.glamdressup.com;
After everything was done we asked Bree for a short insight on us and we were pretty pleased:
We are very pleased with the services provided to us by Idea Studios.
They offered expert advice and top notch web design skills.
They are easy to work with and make sure that their client is 100% satisfied
and will work with you until you are completely happy with the finished product.
