Kongregate has opened its first international office in Montreal, Canada. Open positions include a Senior Marketing Manager, Product Manager, and Publishing Producer. More details are available on Kongregate.com. Kongregate joins many other major game publishers in Montreal, but the company sees a special collaboration opportunity with the vibrant indie game development community. Indie developers have been and continue to be a big part of Kongregate’s brand and history, and Montreal is flourishing with the talent and projects Kongregate sees as innovative and valuable.

First, a Message from Emily Greer, Co-Founder and CEO of Kongregate It hasn’t been long since our last big announcement, but we’re ready to share more exciting news: Kongregate is creating a new community-driven, developer-centric PC platform -- Kartridge. Kartridge is designed to be rich in social and community features and will allow us to provide more games and features to our playerbase (full screen mode! retail games!). Kartridge will allow us to elevate the experiences of both players and developers alike, without the technology constraints of web browsers. Some Kartridge features will be directly connected to Kongregate.com, while many are brand new to Kartridge. The platform will also further our premium games initiative; developer-controlled price points and a downloadable platform means more games, more developers, & more options. Kartridge is a direct result of the hard work, culture, and engagement that went into Kongregate.com. It’s designed to be community and developer focused, so we hope you sign up to participate in our Beta program. If you are a developer interested in early involvement and
