Publishers

[Ryzen4Life]

Hi I'm a Indie Dev making a game and have a question:

What's it like working with a publisher ? Specifically Curve Digital, 505 Games, Devolver Digital and Team 17

Don't have experience with any of those, but a local game publisher that has some bigger mobile games.
 

They're there to run a business. You have to sell your product and keep it refined. 

The way they see you is an investment. It's not really as *fun* as it's made out to be. Lots of numbers, meetings and frustration

What game? Is it accessible right now in any way?

I think the first hurdle is getting a company to accept your pitch. In which case:

They are essentially same as production companies for movies and TV or publishers for books. They are spending their money on you to make it back as tenfold.

 

All depends on the contract made. You will be working for them.

Thanks all for the advice! And no it's nor accesible (yet)
