although for a company trying to showcase a set of tech, porting a game may not be the best option for them. Unless they are free to use their own engine in which case it should be fine.

Out of interest though is the porting market rather tied up? I would assume that publishers have a set of IP and trusted dev houses they would use for such things. A company with no track record how would they fair at getting such a port?

I’ve only ever looked into Existing IP and developing games from them, not taking existing games and porting them. From what I found large publishers typically snapped up all IP that was worthwhile, and dished them out to their trusted network of dev houses.

Perhaps it’s a different ball game for porting games, where any house can make a tender for the port. In which case it’s probably something darkwater or any dev house in Ireland should consider.
