What We're
Looking For
- Distinctive creative vision — a game only this team could make
- Narrative-driven, genre-defining, or artistically ambitious
- Solo developers, small teams (2–30 people), and mid-size studios
- Prototype through near-complete — we evaluate at all stages
- PC, console, mobile, or multi-platform
- Passion over pedigree — we care about the work, not just your résumé

The Trenches

Marketing & Community
In-house campaign strategy, content creation, influencer programs, and community management. We build player bases before launch and keep them engaged after.
Platform Relations
Deep relationships with PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Valve, and Epic. We help your game get featured, included in bundles, and seen at the right moments.
Creator-First Deals
You keep your IP. Transparent royalties, reasonable advances, and deal terms we share openly. Developers who publish with us come back — that's the goal.
