Martin Rumenov New Label Empowers Modders, Expands Game Library Across Meta Quest, PS VR2, and PC VR
In a major announcement during the VR Games Showcase, Flat2VR Studios has introduced Flat2VR Spark: a creator-focused program designed to transform standout community VR conversions into polished, fully licensed releases for leading headsets. This bold move aims to bring more beloved flat-screen games into virtual reality at speed—without sacrificing quality or the spirit of grassroots innovation.
A Bridge Between Modders and Studios
From Community Roots to Professional Pipeline
Flat2VR Spark formalizes Flat2VR’s origins as a passionate modding community, building an official framework where skilled modders and indie developers get direct access to source code, production support, and a share of the revenue. Unlike traditional outsourcing, Spark emphasizes aligned incentives: participants receive proper credit and revenue participation, while intellectual property rights remain with the original game creators.
Eric Masher, COO of Flat2VR Studios, explains:
“Spark lets proven developers operate like entrepreneurial pods with shared upside, so they move fast and take smart creative risks, while we keep the quality bar airtight…. It is how we ship more official VR games without bloating headcount.”
How Spark Works: Fast, Flexible, and Quality-Driven
- Ownership & Incentives: Developers earn real credit and revenue under the Spark label, and IP stays with original rights holders.
- Agile Teams: Small, expert “pods” lead production, scaling to project needs, and spinning up in weeks.
- Studio Support: Flat2VR oversees licensing, QA, platform certification, safety, and technical compliance.
- Parallel Pipelines: Spark enables multiple projects to launch in tandem without overloading the main studio team.
Elliott Tate, Co-Founder of Flat2VR Studios, reinforced the vision:
“Spark lets us stay fiercely indie at scale. It’s our community roots, made official. Creators get ownership and support, players get more killer VR, and the quality bar stays non-negotiable.”
