Game Publishing Inquiries

Creator-owned games published with integrity.

Your IP Remains Yours

All game intellectual property remains with the creator. We publish games through transparent partnerships that respect creative vision and protect creator ownership.

We work with game creators across tabletop and digital formats—from concept refinement through production and distribution.

Brief description: What is your game about? What makes it unique?

Gameplay & Mechanics

Core mechanics: How does the game play? What are the primary interactions?

Player count & time: How many players? How long does a session take?

Development Stage

Current status: Is this a concept, prototype, in playtesting, or complete?

What exists now: Do you have rules, prototypes, art, or other materials?

Target Audience

Who is this for: Age range, experience level, genre preferences?

Market positioning: What similar games exist? How does yours differ?

What We Offer Game Creators

IP Ownership & Control

All intellectual property remains with the creator. We publish your game—we don't own it. Contracts are transparent, terms are fair, and you retain the rights to your work.

Production & Manufacturing

For tabletop games, we handle production coordination, manufacturing partnerships, quality control, and fulfillment logistics.

Development Support

We provide playtesting coordination, rules refinement, balance consulting, and feedback loops to help you refine your game before launch.

Distribution & Marketing

We position your game in front of the right audience through distribution partnerships, convention presence, reviewer outreach, and targeted marketing campaigns.

Before You Reach Out

Do Not Send Files or Prototypes

Please do not attach game files, code, prototypes, rulebooks, or physical materials to your initial inquiry. We will request these later if needed, after we've discussed your project and confirmed mutual interest.

This protects both you and us—it ensures we can evaluate fit before handling sensitive materials, and it prevents your inbox from being flagged for large attachments.

Response Timeline

We respond to all serious inquiries within 5-7 business days. If your project aligns with our publishing focus, we'll schedule a discovery call to discuss details and potential partnership.

Not every project will be a good fit—if we can't work with you, we'll let you know respectfully and promptly.
