New Video Series: Indie Dev Insights

In our new series "Indie Dev Insights" we talk to indie devs and industry experts from Hamburg about topics that concern indies apart from strictly development topics - like marketing, sales, funding, organization of a team or publishing. First episode out now - more to come!

For our first episode Jonas Hüsges, Publishing Director at Hamburg-based indie publisher / studio Daedalic Entertainment met with us and gave insight into the perspective of an indie publisher.

For indie devs, scoring a deal with a publisher can the breakthrough for their game and their studio. But what games are publishers actually scouting for - and where? What matters when you pitch a game to them? And what's the biggest mistake you can make? - Jonas has a lot of first-hand experience and gave valuable insights into the inner workings of an indie publisher.

Watch the first episode "Indie Dev Insights #1: Perspective of a publisher" now! Next up, we have another episode on publishing from a different perspective and are already preparing the next episodes with more indie dev topics. So stay tuned and subscribe to our YouTube channel to not miss any new episode.

A big thank you to Jonas for answering our questions, to Daedalic Entertainment for letting us film in their offices and to moodmacher+ who produced the video!
