Even better, we had the opportunity to work with a great trading card game and TV show franchise, and to create a unique storyline with equally unique gameplay. Why were you interested in creating a Yu-Gi-Oh! game?įor Frima, it was a unique opportunity to work with one of the most renowned game publishers in the world. These meetings and Konami's Takeshi Minagawa's willingness to invest time in getting to know Frima and trust us to hit the mark with such a strong brand have allowed us to forge a strong relationship! Frima made sure to involve at an early stage people with thorough knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh! and a passion for creating great social games around brands.

It also helped that they had noticed the quality of our other Facebook games and had been recommended our services as a top-tier Facebook developer. One of our business development managers has an existing good contact at Konami who invited Frima to meet with their senior production people to discuss Frima's expertise in the social space. The way most solid partnerships do: through personal quality business relationships. How did the partnership between Frima Studio and Konami come about? (Hey, if a card game as old as Magic: The Gathering can do it, then almost any game can.) So, we recently chatted with Frima Studio producer Helene Fortin to learn more about how Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM came to be and gain some insight into some of the team's creative decisions in making the game. The result is a brilliant rendition of the popular card game on Facebook, one that's been fine-tuned for the platform and, in our opinion, has a clear shot at reviving the franchise in a new way.

But Konami wants to change that, and the Japanese publisher enlisted Pocket God on Facebook creator Frima Studio to make it happen.

But since then, the trading card game's popularity has seemingly fell to similar games on the web and tablets. Back in the day-OK, like five years ago- Yu-Gi-Oh! was kind of a big deal in the U.S.
