Beginnings
Our founder and President Steve Fry started his career in the early 90s developing games in Japan, creating hits like “Breakthru!” while working with Zoo Corporation. Following the success of “Breakthru!”, Steve built a successful team with Zoo to import, localize and market games from around the world into Japan.
Under Steve’s guidance, in 2013 Zoo was able to facilitate licensing agreements, supporting localization and marketing efforts for companies like Koch Media, Focus Home Interactive, SCS Software, Psyonix, Kalypso Media, 1C Interactive, Astragon, and Aerosoft amongst others.
In 2014, Zoo started developing Unity based games. and we have supported both localization into English and marketing of these games to international markets.
