I am genuinely asking… I am a solo dev more than 10 years now and I always publish my own games first years on mobiles and the last years on consoles and steam. Things are going smoothly (most of the times) but I always was wondering about this.
Eg: The last 2.5 years I have been making a game alone called ‘Educational Family Games’ and it will release soon. I will publish it myself. It’s the best thing I have made so far and I was wondering if publishing my own is a bad idea.
Do any of you have experience with other publishers for indies?
- Do they drive much more sales.
- Do they actually do good marketing.
- Does it worth it to give them half the revenue?
Any good publishers?
I don’t know anything about the industry but I know the guy who made Stardew Valley was a one man show. Concerned Ape.
I believe it’s possible but is a steep hill to climb.
I have climbed many such hills. Know the drill but just wondered if having a publisher would provide much more exposure and will worth it.
