Session Name:

Inside Indie (Self) Publishing

Overview:

How many times have you posed a question like this: "What do indie publishers think about?" "What do the big platforms or storefronts they work with think about?" And most importantly, what does that mean for people who make games? Rebekah Saltsman, who has been self publishing Finji internal development and published titles for 15 years alongside storefronts and platforms big and small, will set a foundation for what dev teams should know about our volatile industry which spans publishing access, available development funds, decreased access to co-marketing agreements and their partners in any business development relationship. She will also describe the how it is necessary that small to midsized developers should understand the skills and principles required to self-publish. This talk stresses the importance that both new devs and experienced devs understand and build these skills to support either their own team with self publishing or their business partner who is bringing these games to the market.
