Hi All,

Do you have any recommendations for publishers that are Indie friendly?

What is you experience with a publisher and how much did they do for you?

Thanks!

Independent video games (commonly referred to as indie games) are video games created by individuals or small teams generally without video game publisher financial support.

I'm a strong independent developer I don't need no publisher.

Versus Evil, Devolver, Curve, TinyBuild are all publishers that publish ''indie games''.

To be honest, indie games is such a vague term though. Look at the games publisher under their banner and see if yours fit first.
My 2 cents.

Good names. I'd add Adult Swim to that list as theyre really starting to branch out with the games theyre publishing.

I spoke to a lot of 'indie' publishers when I first explored the option of publishing Caretaker and I must admit I wasn't that impressed. The only thing a publisher could do for you is market your game but they had better be on really good terms with a portal like Steam and the only one that is, is Devolver. All the others would just hire a PR and marketing firm which you could do yourself and in-fact I've done with my game - it's not as expensive as you think.

Whilst that is true, getting them to pay for stuff like screen at expos and Dev Kits is a huge bonus.

having screen time is big help !! if you are lucky to have it dont say No ! use it as much you can.
