Gaming content designer Rocksalt Interactive is to design HTLM5 titles for platform provider Nektan after the two agreed a partnership.

The Rocksalt team is to design Nektan-branded HTML5 games, which will be made available via Nektan’s Evolve and E-Lite platforms.

Developer Rocksalt will be responsible for all the front-end functionality of the new releases, including illustrations, features and game assets, while Nektan provides the games engine.

The first Nektan-branded title from by Rocksalt will be Plucky Pirates: Devil’s Triangle, a pirate-themed slot. The new partnership will see a minimum of 12 new games produced by Rocksalt and distributed to Nektan’s network of operators and white-label casinos.

Jane Ryan, chief commercial officer of B2B at Nektan, said: “Rocksalt Interactive is a highly-regarded global games designer. We are thrilled to be working alongside a great team that can boost the diversity of games that we offer.

“The company develops a number of popular global free-to-play games, and we are sure that its team of quality designers will produce new and exciting content that will appeal to a wide audience.”

Utkarsh Veer, director and CEO at Rocksalt said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for us. Together, we are producing fresh and entertaining games that incorporate our expertise in games design and Nektan’s knowledge of player preferences and the casino market as a whole. We look forward developing the partnership while delivering quality games to Nektan’s growing network of casino sites.”
