Get ready: Futura Pulse x GDCy is here!

Every successful game attracts unwanted guests it never invited. Someone copied your game, cheats spread on dingy websites, someone sells accounts and skins on a marketplace, and your logo lands on merch you never approved. Then, your players complain to you. Fair?

‍

Futura Pulse is an easy answer to that problem. The tool monitors app stores, marketplaces, video platforms and code repositories for copies of your game, cheats, in-game item and account trading, and merch that uses your brand. Everything it finds lands in one dashboard, where you decide what to act on and what to leave alone.

‍

We have spent most of this year building Futura Pulse, testing it with our clients and improving it along the way. Now it is ready, and the first studios to get it will be residents of GDCy, the Cyprus game development community we are proud to call our friends!

‍

GDCy has brought together the studios, founders and developers who are turning Cyprus into a place to build games, and we want this community to keep growing. Our joint effort gives GDCy residents a legal team they can turn to with questions about protecting their games, and it starts with Pulse.

‍

Together with GDCy, we are launching a collaboration: early access to Pulse on special terms for GDCy residents, ahead of the public launch in mid-November.

‍

Pulse has two modules:

• Clones & infringements module finds what takes revenue from your game, gets it taken down and keeps watching for re-uploads.
• Trademarks module keeps your brand portfolio under control: registered marks in every country, renewal dates, conflicting third-party filings and gaps in protection.

‍

Futura Digital lawyers are in the loop from the start. They check the legal grounds, file the complaints and stay on call whenever a case needs a decision, so you never have to deal with the problem alone.
‍

We've been using Pulse with our clients over the past months, and the public launch is planned for mid-November. GDCy residents get access first, with a special offer:

• a free custom report on their game, built by hand by the Futura Digital team;
• a free 30-minute strategy call with Futura Digital lawyers on what to take down first, what to leave alone and what each decision is worth;
• 10% off the Pulse subscription for as long as it runs.
  ‍

GDCy residents can request their report and strategy call at pulse.gdcy.eu.

We're proud of what we've built with GDCy. Now that the community is here, we want it to thrive, and that means protecting what our residents create.
— Tim Fadeev, co-founder of GDCy

Most studios find out about clones and cheats too late. Our residents should not have to learn this the hard way, so we made it part of what GDCy provides.
