A New Chapter for Carthage: Bellum Punicum
Mindebyte Studios has already built a passionate community and an impressive foundation for Carthage: Bellum Punicum as a solo developer. With Aquila Interactive joining as publisher, the partnership will bring expanded development resources, enhanced marketing support, and long-term strategic planning to elevate and maximize the game’s global reach and success.
"As game developers ourselves, we deeply understand how much dedication it takes to craft a compelling strategy experience from historical material," said Winston Wang, CEO of Aquila Interactive. "The passion and talent Mindebyte has poured into Carthage: Bellum Punicum is truly impressive. We want to help them bring this game to a wider audience. This is also the heart of Aquila's publishing vision: to help outstanding projects find their audience."
"As a solo developer, seeing Carthage being discovered by more and more players is incredibly motivating," said Mindaugas Znutas, founder of Mindebyte Studios. "Now, Aquila's support will allow me to expand the game's scope and deepen its mechanics while staying true to my—and my community's—vision. Together, we're marching toward something truly special."
Both studios share the same goal: to create the best strategy games possible. Aquila and Mindebyte will work in tandem, sharing knowledge, support, and publishing expertise to bring the Punic Wars to life like never before.
