The Comprehensive 2020 Publisher List From The Powell Group and Indie Game Business
Through our Indie Game Business initiative we feel that we need to do all we can to help developers across the globe, regardless of location or budget. Here are a few of the resources you can access for free. Webinars: We do two per month. One on how to use this list to find a publisher and one on how you prepare for and find an investor. Our Podcast: We typically have one or two shows per week. The podcast is recorded live on Mixer, Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. Then we provide the audio for you to listen to on Spotify, Apple, or nine other platforms. Our Discord: We now provide an inclusive server, home to over 700 industry professionals, where you can safely ask questions or share your knowledge with the industry. Our Newsletter: Once per week we send subscribers links to the industry news that is important for them, updates on our podcast, discounts to services, and tips on how to grow their company. They also get first access to updates for this list. If you’re looking for a deeper level of support. Here are some of the programs we offer for a fee. Our Online Business Networking Events: Twice per year we hold online matchmaking events in partnership with MeetToMatch. These events cost less than $100 to attend, allow you to see exactly who is attending and what they are looking for, and provide a means of reaching out to the companies directly. You don’t have to know anyone beforehand and all the meetings are private one on one video calls. Our Developer Support Program: For a one time fee of $5,000 that is recouped against a commission we will:
● Give guidance and feedback on your pitch for your team or game. ● Find contract work for your team from our network of over 500 publishers ● Pitch your games to that network if you're looking for a publisher ● Advise you on potential deals and partnerships that come from our outreach ● Help identify and securing meetings at major conferences
We’re also happy to tailor something specific for your needs and budget. We truly hope this list helps you and your game find success in the market. If there is anything we can ever do to help, don’t hesitate to ask.
Jay Powell CEO, The Powell Group
What this list is: A starting point for finding the right publisher for your game and understanding the depth of options you have as a developer. What this list is not: A complete guide to every aspect of each publisher. You still need to do your own research. If you want to learn how to effectively do that, we offer a free webinar that covers that.
