¡We are proud to announce our first exclusive on Inside Mobile Apps!

Colombian developer Brainz Games is betting that quirky humor and surprisingly deep gameplay will help it conquer the tower defense genre with its game, Vampire Season.

Due to be released as a universal app for iPhone and iPad at the end of March, it will be in the first wave of mobile games published by 6L (formerly known as 6waves Lolapps). Brainz Games was one of the first 16 developers to sign a mobile deal with the publisher.

Although Brainz has been in business for more than 10 years, Vampire Season is actually its first original game. The company has a long history in animation, TV commercials and development of mobile adver-games for the likes of Guinness and Coca-Cola.

In order to make its transition from service work to original IP a success, Brainz has invested heavily in Vampire Season. The game has spent eight months in development with a budget of $350,000 to ensure it stands out with its polish, storytelling and high production values. The game is also free-to-play — a decision that Jairo Nieto, Brainz Games’ head of games (pictured right) describes as a “leap of faith.”

BRAINZ is developing a portfolio of mid-core mobile titles that will push the boundaries of what gamers can expect under the freemium model.  By leveraging its strong animation and storytelling DNA, BRAINZ will deliver leading edge gaming experiences characterized by high production values, more depth, animated content, and rich storyworlds.

“Working with the 6L team has been a thrill from day one.  They truly understand what BRAINZ is trying to achieve in combining high production values with story-driven game play.  We are looking forward to breaking new ground in the mobile gaming space through this partnership”, said CEO Alejandro Gonzalez.

Today in a VentureBeat story, 6L laid out its strategy to commit big marketing dollars to 16 new independent developers from across the world:

“San Francisco and Hong Kong-based 6L is teaming up with prominent developers including HareBrained Schemes, headed by gaming veteran Jordan Wiesman and Brainz Games. The company is making the announcement in advanced of the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next week and it hopes it will become a major challenger to rivals from Electronic Arts’ Chillingo to Tapjoy, which both publish third-party titles made by other developers. 6L has millions of players on Facebook and it has published more than 100 social games from 50 developers. Now it is expanding to mobile.”
