During the production of Logan's first title as a developer, Whispering Willows, Logan and his team did not experience the level of support they had wanted. Sensing there was a space to fill, Logan founded the company to provide developers a unique experience.[2] These efforts include leveraging the developer's title to the fullest via physical editions, soundtracks, and merchandise.[3] Since founding, Akupara Games has worked with third-party developers, such as Oscar Brittain on his game Desert Child, for multi-platform releases.[4]
In 2019, the publisher had signed Danish developer Die Gute Fabrik's Mutazione for multi-platform release, including subscription service Apple Arcade. The title went on to be nominated for multiple awards at the 2020 Independent Games Festival, ultimately winning Excellence in Audio.[5]
As of 2020, Akupara Games is represented under Digital Development Management.[6]
