Tripwire Interactive’s publishing division, Tripwire Presents, is expanding to offer publishing support to smaller independent developers.<\/p>\n
The Killing Floor and Maneater studio announced today that the new program will focus on self-published indie games at any stage, from pre-release through early access and post-launch. Tripwire will offer help with cross-promotion, platform relationships, commercial strategy, PR, content creators, and events, along with guidance on pricing, discounts, and lifecycle management.<\/p>\n
The company said the partnerships are designed to be flexible and “dev-friendly,” helping games reach more players “while making sure the developers who created them benefit the most.” It did not disclose the commercial terms.<\/p>\n
“Tripwire Presents is starting this new program to give additional visibility to great self-published indie games that we feel Tripwire fans will absolutely love,” said Bryan West, publishing director at Tripwire Presents.<\/p>\n
“These titles are from scrappy developers who have done the hard work of both creating and promoting a game themselves.”<\/p>\n
The five games leading the initiative are The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire from BEF Games; Starforged Legacy, a roguelike bullet hell from Second Shift Games;<\/p>\n
