December came. The end of the year is rapidly approaching. On its eve, according to the established tradition, App2Top, together with representatives of gaming and near-gaming companies, summarizes the results. The current series of results opens with an interview with Sergey Zanin, co-founder and CEO of Alawar.

The era is gone. From June 1, 2023, Alawar will stop distributing games through the digital platform of the same name, which has been operating since 2003.

Since last Friday, two domestic titles have been on the chart of popular Steam novelties — Necrosmith from Novosibirsk Alawar and Stones Keeper: King Aurelius from Moscow SK Team and Valkyrie Initiative. Both games have high scores. We tell you about the projects.

We continue to summarize the results of 2021 together with top managers and experts of the gaming industry (and related ones). Next up is an interview with Yulia Trofimova, Marketing Director of Alawar.

On October 20, a space western from Alawar was released on Steam. The novelty is called They Always Run. Its unique feature is a hand—drawn visual style. We talked about how it was created with the producer and lead artist of the game Stepan Komarov.

We continue to summarize the results of 2020 together with top managers and experts of the gaming industry (and related ones). Next up is an interview with Sergey Zanin, co-founder and CEO of Alawar.

What legal issues should you pay attention to when releasing the game, — he said Anton Wise, Legal Advisor at Alawar.

Alawar decided to revive one of its most popular series — “Merry Farm”. The continuation of the computer casual game will appear on Steam next year. This can help the company to regain the audience and interest in itself.

In December 2019, Alawar was headed by its co-founder Sergey Zanin. We talked with him about the early years of the company, about how it grew. They also touched upon the challenges that Alawar faced, discussed the situation around Stargaze and plans for the future.

Barnaul studio Stargaze, known for the Beholder series of games, has almost completely left its former owner — Alawar. Now she is one of the internal teams of Playrix.

Sensor Tower made up the top ten publishers with the largest number of games in the App Store. In the first place by a huge margin is the American Big Fish Games.

Why Alawar took up publishing an indie game for Steam, whether Beholder‘s success changed the approach to development within the company, why Creative Mobile was chosen to launch the mobile version – about this and much more App2Top.ru I asked the general director of the company Andrey Postnikov.

Novosibirsk company Alawar told App2Top.ru as during the development of a new game for Steam, its concept has changed beyond recognition.

Alawar told App2Top how the indicators of advertising monetization have changed after the start of cooperation with Appodeal, a service for the competent monetization of mobile applications.

Apparently, VKontakte has established regular publication of projects for its mobile platform. Less than a month has passed since the last release, and the social network together with Novosibirsk Alawar presented “Goblins: Defenders”. Two days ago, the game was released on iOS and Android.

Some time ago Novosibirsk Alawar published Montezuma Blitz for Tango. In this regard, we decided to ask Yulia Nabieva, the head of the mobile sales and marketing department of the company, about Tango in general and the experience of working with it in particular.

Together with our industry colleagues, we continue to summarize the results of 2013. This article contains an interview with Alawar.

The company Alawar recently published the game Heroes War in Russian (in domestic markets – “Gangs: Kings of the streets”) from Com2uS. In connection with the recent release, we interviewed the Novosibirsk team and asked about cooperation with the Koreans.
