Mudstack makes life better for digital artists and game studios with the launch of its unique new asset management platform

Published

on

Officially launched today, Mudstack is a first-of-its-kind Digital Asset Management (DAM) system specifically for game studios and digital artists who increasingly need to work collaboratively across multiple projects, locations, and even timezones. The Mudstack platform combines cloud storage, artist-friendly version control, and an integrated review and feedback feature. Itallows art teams to rapidly increase their pace of iteration and progress, wasting less time hunting for files and feedback and wondering which version is the right one for any given file.

Founder Jordan Stevens explained why the team felt there was a need for a platform like Mudstack. “Digital art teams face a unique set of challenges when it comes to producing, managing, and reviewing assets. Their use of multiple tools often results in a disconnect between the various stages of a project, and as companies expand, this situation becomes more complex. Cheaper solutions that once worked fail at scale, leading to significant productivity loss and delayed launches that can cost over six figures.”

Canadian-based VR Vision develops VR-based training solutions for enterprises, and it found that Mudstack made an immediate difference. “We struggled to scale our pipeline once our development team quickly grew from a single developer to ten. Sharing assets on a local network drive or Google Drive can be tedious, especially for iterating and making changes. We needed a version control solution for assets so we could still access the old asset if a change happened accidentally. Mudstack has solved this through its ability to create workspaces per project, isolating the clutter happening in one place with the ability to add tags and libraries that sit on top of folder structures, with non-destructive file-based versioning,” said Karan Sharma, Art Manager at VR Vision.

Mudstack is free for anyone to start using and collaborating across teams, giving unlimited users the ability to collaboratively view files. Paid plans start at $19/mo per admin user and include unlimited artists, 4TB+ cloud storage, and access controls.

Mudstack has been developing its platform in close partnership with both indie and AA game studios, ensuring the tool meets their needs, improves efficiency and productivity, and puts artists’ needs at the forefront of its design. No other platform combines features that allow digital artists to onboard an existing project in a matter of hours, streamline workflows, and easily integrate collaboration. Its key features include:

Centralized cloud storage for source files, so there is no need to use external cloud storage software

  • Preview 3D files (FBX, OBJ, GLTF) without downloading and opening

  • Tag and filter files for easy searching

  • Control access to content to protect IP if working with external vendors

  • Group files in multiple collections without duplicating or worrying about folder structures

  • Utilize AWS for all systems and storage

Review and provide feedback directly in art files rather than using external workflow tools

  • Request reviews by tagging other users directly in the file

  • Easily assign change requests and provide approvals on files

  • Mark up files with the built-in annotation tool

Version control that doesn’t require locking and branching, so artists don’t have to use developer tools

  • File-based versioning rather than product-based, so artists don’t have to deal with irrelevant conflicts

  • Roll back to older versions at any time without deleting or overwriting anything

  • View the history of each file with a single source of versions kept in the cloud

  • Manage versions locally and share only the versions needed

Find your Prince Charming in A Hopping Kiss by Elysium Studios

Valentines Day may be behind us, but over at popular software provider, Swintt, love is definitely in the air this month in A Hopping Kiss – the latest title in the Elysium Studios line-up where free spins and multipliers guarantee that a happy ending is never far away.

Set to a backdrop of a moonlit pond flanked by towering statues, A Hopping Kiss is a five-reel, 11-payline slot that draws its inspiration from traditional fairytales.

Featuring lily pads, potions, golden crowns and two wilds among its unique symbols, the game follows the story of a star-crossed romance as a spellbound princess looks to turn one lucky frog into her Prince Charming.

Should both of these characters appear simultaneously during a spin, they’ll substitute for any regular symbol before hopping to a new reel position on the following turn. If the two ever meet on adjacent reel spaces, however, this is where the magic really happens as they’ll both transform into a new Mega Wild that will remain locked in place while a complimentary re-spin takes place.

During this bonus re-spin, additional Golden Frog symbols come into play, with these potentially extending their tongues and snagging a reward from the multiplier bar above the reels to boost the value of any active payline wins before players are returned back to the standard base game.

Of course, this being an Elysium Studios slot, there’s also a fun free spins feature that can either be activated by landing three scatter symbols our bought into directly using the “Buy” button. When triggered normally, players will be prompted to swipe a reel to reveal the type of spins they’ll be playing, but when bought into, players will be able to choose between three different options.

Chasing Free Spins will ensure that a princess and a frog are always present on the reels and could potentially meet at any point to grant an additional re-spin, while Mega Wild Free Spins skip this step entirely and jump straight to adding a 2×2 or 3×3 wild to the reels on every spin. The third choice, Random Free Spins, can award either of these two bonuses – and during all three options, extra Free Spins will be added to the multiplier bar so that Golden Frogs can prolong the feature.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “The story of the princess and the frog is a beloved classic celebrated by many different cultures – but in A Hopping Kiss, Elysium Studios have given this time-worn tale a fresh set of legs. Packed with Free Spins and rewarding multipliers, it’s an enchanting addition to our line-up that’ll have players falling head over heels!”

VeliTech is proud to announce its return to the SBC Summit Lisbon 2025, taking place from 16-18 September at Feira Internacional de Lisboa.

Building on last year’s momentum and following a year of significant growth and product milestones, the company is ready to demonstrate its battle-tested iGaming ecosystem for emerging markets.

Taking centre stage is VeliGames, an aggregation powerhouse by VeliTech, now supported by a newly launched dedicated website. Far more than a content library, VeliGames brings together scale, flexibility and engagement tools in one platform. The team is ready to demonstrate its full potential at stand A550, showing how it drives success for iGaming brands worldwide.

Giorgi Aleksidze, CEO at VeliTech, said: “Returning to SBC Lisbon for the second year running, we’re showcasing the depth of our battle-tested iGaming ecosystem in action. VeliGames is more than a content pipeline — it’s a complete growth engine for operators. And when combined with our other products, operators get everything they need to build, launch and scale a successful iGaming business.”

This year’s comeback to SBC Lisbon is marked by extra recognition, as the company is shortlisted in two SBC Awards 2025 categories: Multi-channel Supplier and Aggregator of the Year.

As part of the official agenda, Irakli Kakhidze, Director of Turnkey at VeliTech, will join the panel discussion “A Continent on the Move: Sportsbook Technology in Africa” on 16 September (13:40–14:20, Stage 2: Emerging Markets, Africa).

The session will explore opportunities, infrastructure challenges and the innovation shaping Africa’s sportsbook sector, drawing on the VeliTech experience supporting operators as they expand into new markets.

“Sports betting in Africa follows its own path, driven by cultural fit and player behaviour. Success here requires agility and deep local understanding, not one-size-fits-all solutions,” added Irakli Kakhidze, Director of Turnkey at VeliTech.
