Kid safety platform k-ID has announced a strategic partnership with codeveloper and backend services provider Rocket Science Group. Through this deal, these companies aim to make it easier for game studios to achieve global regulatory compliance with kids safety protections.
Like Rocket Science Group, k-ID shares a mission of letting game developers focus on making games. Instead of focusing on legal compliance, the company provides a cross-platform, single sign-on solution to safeguard kids’ and teens’ gaming experience.
“The ability Rocket Science’s studios have to technically support game studios of all sizes aligns perfectly with our mission to democratize access to safe, age-appropriate experiences on a global scale,” said Kieran Donovan, CEO and cofounder of k-ID. “Rocket Science will be able to help video game studios integrate k-ID’s Global Compliance Engine even more efficiently. Having worked very closely with the Rocket Science team, we have seen first-hand how they relentlessly support a fast and efficient integration process for any client who wants to achieve global youth compliance through k-ID.”
Prior to this partnership, Rocket Science’s studios have helped game developers integrate k-ID’s API-based global youth compliance engine into their games. The first Rocket Science title featuring this technology will go live before the end of the year.
“Our goal at Rocket Science Group has always been to not just be the best possible development partner for studios, publishers and developers, but to strive to make gaming better as a whole for everyone,” said Thomas Daniel, CEO of Rocket Science Group. “We can now take that a step further by making it faster and easier for developers to integrate k-ID’s industry-leading youth compliance technology. We are excited to bring the k-ID technology to even more publishers, to support a safe, fun and empowered future for youth in games around the world.”
This kind of strategic partnership will help k-ID meet investors’ expectations. In June, the Singaporean company raised $45 million to fund its global compliance platform.
