IndieGameBusiness has just released its updated directory with over video game publishers. The best thing about it? Besides the fact that it has game publishers in alphabetical order with links and the platforms they primarily release on? Get your digital copy here. The game publishers directory is a way to give developers the tools to make their games successful and profitable.
They will send their game to 10 or 20 publishers and feel like they hit everyone. We wanted to create something simple to let them understand just how many options are out there. No one bothers to teach developers about the business side of the industry. So apart from weighing their options when it comes to the available publishers in the market we try to give them a realistic understanding of deal terms and partnerships.
But also give advice on building their communities and marketing their games early. IndieGameBusiness was founded in early based on the idea of bringing conference level lectures and presentations to developers around the world while keeping the costs down. Plus we want to add more e-learning solutions for developers as well as grow our monthly live sessions that we host on the Discord.

Stronghold Games They are not accepting submissions from Stephen M. This is an amazingly helpful resource. I am in the middle of refining my game for production and I am looking for manufacturers and publishers to send a pitch to. I went through this list when Rich Durham asked me to "fix it up" and try to consolidate the various lists of Publishers. And I spent the better part of a week doing so. The list may be a bit "out-dated" I am currently very busy That I just can't give a week to update it With a Wiki, each Publisher would be responsible for updating their own entry in the Wiki And we could have an "easy" review process to ensure that the changes are accurate.
I look forward to the Wiki becoming a reality, I know it could be a really powerful tool for all of us. Thanks again for your response, Cheers, Stacey. We don't know how those other sites validate their links or IF they even have a policy for ensuring accuracy of those links.
While we would naturally want to grow our list of links - the administration of said links is a time consuming effort. Of the publisher's four releases that didn't receive positive reviews, two came from its Blizzard subsidiary: a Switch port of Overwatch and a Hearthstone expansion. Nintendo boosted its average Metascore by nearly four points compared to last year's mark despite being one of the company's rare years without any releases scoring 90 or higher.
In recent years, the Swedish strategy and management game specialist has ranked highly in our annual publisher lists, and was another strong year that saw Paradox's average Metascore increase by nearly 3 points. As always, Paradox's releases included numerous expansions to previously released games, but its best title was a new game: the 4X sci-fi title Age of Wonders: Planetfall. Many of Capcom's worst-reviewed titles were Switch ports of previously released games such as Devil May Cry 2 and Resident Evil 6.
The three-year-old spinoff from arthouse film studio Annapurna Pictures specializes in indie games—and good ones. No publisher had a higher average Metascore in than Annapurna, with most of its releases scoring in the 80s including Outer Wilds and Telling Lies.
Microsoft's performance is similar to that of its slate, with an average Metascore that is just 0. Renamed a year ago, Xbox Game Studios released only sequels and ports in , ranging from very good the Switch version of Ori and the Blind Forest to disappointingly by-the-numbers Crackdown 3. In addition to serving as an online games storefront, Humble has also operated its own publishing business for the past few years, handling distribution for a handful of titles from indie game studios.
This is the first time Humble has qualified for our publisher rankings, and it's an auspicious start. As it has in many recent years, Square Enix released more products in than any other publisher—and it's not even close. And Square Enix also released one of the biggest duds of , Left Alive. The Texas-based publisher posted an average Metascore in the green range for the third consecutive year thanks to acclaimed releases like a new Switch version of Downwell , GORN , and Ape Out.
After finishing near the bottom of our rankings a year ago, Focus improved quite a bit with its slate. Focus's top entry, A Plague Tale: Innocence , was its first product to score higher than 80 since Take-Two's average Metascore dropped by over two points compared to the prior year, hurt by awful reviews for its annual sports entry WWE 2K20 and disappointing ones for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey from the publisher's new-ish Private Division label.
After ranking in our top three a year ago, EA also saw a more than two-point drop in its average Metascore in thanks to a release slate that included the publisher's first negatively reviewed game in years the feature-poor Switch version of FIFA 20 , basically little more than a re-badge of FIFA Other disappointments included the high-profile multiplayer dud Anthem , indie Sea of Solitude from the publisher's EA Originals label , and a lackluster installment of Need for Speed , while EA's top highlight was its well-received Fortnite competitor Apex Legends which faces increased competition today with the arrival of Call of Duty: Warzone.
Though it released far fewer products in the company's slate was cluttered with DLC , Ubisoft's results aren't all that different from its overall numbers the prior year. The English publisher, which has been around in some form for 30 years, had a decent led by platformer Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair and metroidvania Blasphemous. Overall, Team17's average Metascore was up by about a point compared to the previous year.
I have been burned by a publishing company in past and trying to avoid failing in the pitfall again. My first book needs some serious editing and I really want to work with a publishing company who will help my readers to feel all of the emotions, good and bad, associated with step parenting.
Any suggestions? Thank You. They tend to be more invested in helping their authors. Or self-help? So look to ones focused on nonfiction and those types of genres, and make sure they include editing services and have decent reviews from other authors. I have been considering Covenant Books. Do you have any information on them good or bad? Hi Tammy, not at all! Traditional publishers do not charge to publish your book; they pay you in royalties if they choose to take on your project.
Vanity presses are publishing companies that charge or take publication rights. They tend to be more invested in helping their authors, and might also offer better royalties. I am looking for a book publisher that will not pose as a reputable publisher only to set out being a scam artist.
I wrote a book about my personal ordeal of being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer while also going through the hardship and difficulty of my husband being diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, he lost his battle with the disease. I wrote the book as a dedication to him and as a source of encouragement to all breast cancer survivors. What genre would my book fall under in your opinion and how can I place such trust in my next publisher without losing my money and having my dreams almost destroyed.
Professionalism comes with deceit. Lesson learned, but I do not want to be put through all steps of publication completion only to have a publishing company fall off the face of the earth and end all communication where you are no longer connected. Hi Karen, thank you for your comment.
While the publishers on this list were well researched before being selected, I would recommend doing your own homework before signing a deal. For example, asking for references past clients might help you to trust more easily.
Hi Jenny, you can find a list of poetry publishers here. Hello I am a musician that has been professional for over 4O years I have appeared with many celebrities and I have just written a book about them and my exploits over the years. I am in process of writing a book, How to Choose an Assisted Living.
Baby Boomers will be coming of age for ALFs and it is a daunting task. I give them all the inside details, as I was an Administrator of an Assisted Living for 15 years. My hope is that this book will also encourage ALFs to step up their game and provide better care as people begin to ask them the tough questions. Hi Rhonda, for a more focused selection, I would check out these nonfiction publishers. TCK also publishes how-to books, you can review our submission guidelines here :.
Can you please tell me what genre an autobiography about a woman who overcomes various traumas would fall under? Also what publishing houses have the most integrity, and are very reputable.. Hi Matthew, thanks for your comment! Everyone on this list is considered reputable and fair to our knowledge. I have been in touch withis publisher. I like to know whether this publishing house exists or not.
Their email is : [email protected] will somebody respond soon to this query. Hi Sayeed, I checked them out and they look like a legitimate company and do exist, however you should note that they are a self-publishing service, so you basically pay them to help you through the self-publishing process. Please add Unhinged Publishing and Consulting to your list.
