Melior Games

History and Founding

Melior Games was founded in Kiev, Ukraine, in June 2010. Initially a native mobile app developer, the company pivoted to game development outsourcing early on, adopting Unity3D in 2011 to enable cross‑platform work. This move proved pivotal, allowing Melior Games to serve a broad range of clients across iOS, Android, and desktop platforms. In 2020, the company expanded into Lithuania by opening a studio in Vilnius, leveraging the country’s favorable business climate and access to European markets.

Services and Business Model

Melior Games operates a B2B service model, offering four core pillars: full‑cycle game development (arcade, strategy, MMO), art outsourcing (concept art, 2D/3D assets), gambling game development (cards, slots, lottery, online/social casino), and blockchain development (cryptocurrency integration, smart contracts). The company handles the entire lifecycle of a gambling game—from concept art and mathematical model design through to live operations and maintenance. It does not publish its own branded games but instead provides white‑label or custom development for operators and studios.

Technology and Platform

Unity3D remains Melior Games’ primary engine, used for most of its cross‑platform projects. The company also integrates blockchain technology, supporting Ethereum, Bitcoin, and smart contracts for gaming and ICO applications. Its technical capabilities span 2D/3D art, animation, programming, and porting across iOS, Android, Xbox, Windows, Mac OS, and web platforms.

Market Position and Clients

Melior Games claims to have completed over 120 projects, though it does not disclose revenue, funding rounds, or named clients. Its public presence is modest, with a company website, a LinkedIn profile indicating 11–50 employees, and a Clutch profile holding seven reviews. The firm actively pursues early‑stage partnerships, as evidenced by a blog post urging startups to prepare proof‑of‑concepts by early 2026. It positions itself as a cost‑competitive alternative to Western European and North American developers, targeting iGaming operators and studios seeking Eastern European talent.

Leadership

The only confirmed leadership figure is Denis Oleynik, founder of Melior Games. He has been cited in both Crunchbase and The Baltic Times as the company’s founder. No other C‑level executives (CEO, CTO, COO, etc.) are publicly listed on the company’s website, press releases, or independent business databases. The company does not maintain a leadership page, and Oleynik is not explicitly referred to as CEO in any known sources.
