Navigate Platform Submission with Confidence
Getting your arcade game in front of players shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle. We guide you through every step of the publishing process, from submission to launch day and beyond.
Back to HomeWhat This Service Delivers
Publishing your indie arcade game can feel overwhelming when you're facing platform requirements, certification processes, and marketing decisions all at once. Our publishing support service provides clear guidance at each stage, helping you understand what's needed and when.
You'll have someone in your corner who understands both the technical requirements and the practical realities of indie development. We help you prepare your game for submission, develop a marketing approach that fits your budget, and navigate the complexities of distribution agreements.
The outcome is straightforward: your game reaches platforms with proper preparation, you understand the process clearly, and you have support through launch and beyond.
The Publishing Challenge
Platform Requirements Feel Like a Moving Target
Each platform has its own submission process, technical requirements, and certification standards. Steam wants one thing, console platforms want another, and mobile stores have their own unique demands. It's easy to feel like you're constantly catching up with requirements that weren't entirely clear from the start.
Marketing Feels Outside Your Expertise
You're a developer, not a marketer. Creating press kits, reaching out to influencers, and planning a launch strategy requires skills and connections you might not have built yet. There's uncertainty about what actually works and what's worth your limited time and budget.
Distribution Decisions Carry Long-Term Impact
Pricing strategies, revenue splits, and distribution agreements affect your game's future. Making these decisions without experience can lead to missed opportunities or commitments that don't serve your interests well.
Time Spent on Publishing Takes Away from Development
Every hour spent researching submission processes or figuring out marketing is an hour not spent making your game better. You want to focus on what you do best, but publishing demands attention and effort that pulls you away from development.
Our Publishing Support Approach
Platform Submission Guidance
We walk you through submission requirements for your target platforms, helping you understand what's needed before you start. You'll know exactly what documentation, builds, and materials each platform requires. We help you avoid common rejection reasons and prepare everything correctly the first time.
Marketing Strategy Development
We help you develop a marketing approach that fits your resources and timeline. This includes press kit creation support, guidance on reaching gaming media and influencers, and strategies for building community interest before launch. You'll understand what marketing activities make sense for your specific situation.
Distribution and Pricing Consultation
We provide perspective on pricing strategies based on your game type, market positioning, and business goals. You'll understand different distribution models and what they mean for your revenue. We help you evaluate offers and agreements with clarity about their implications.
Post-Launch Support Guidance
Launch day isn't the end of publishing work. We provide guidance on community management, update planning, and responding to player feedback. You'll have support as you navigate the early days of your game being live and available to players.
Working Together Through Publishing
Our publishing support fits around your development workflow rather than imposing rigid processes. We start with a conversation about your game, your target platforms, and your timeline. This helps us understand where you need the most support.
Throughout the process, you'll have regular check-ins where we review progress, address questions, and plan next steps. If platform requirements change or new challenges emerge, we adjust our approach accordingly. You maintain creative control and final decision-making authority while gaining access to our experience and knowledge.
You'll feel more confident about publishing decisions because you understand the reasoning behind recommendations. The uncertainty that comes with unfamiliar territory diminishes as you gain clarity about what's happening and why.
By the end of the process, you'll not only have launched your game successfully, but you'll also understand the publishing landscape better for future projects.
Investment in Your Publishing Success
Comprehensive publishing support from preparation through post-launch
What's Included
Value Beyond Launch
This investment covers the knowledge and experience that helps you avoid costly mistakes, delays, and missed opportunities. You'll save time that would otherwise be spent researching and figuring things out independently. The confidence and clarity you gain extends beyond this project to future releases as well.
How This Support Works in Practice
Structured Yet Flexible Process
Our approach follows a clear framework while adapting to your specific needs. We begin by assessing your game's current state and your target platforms. This initial evaluation helps us identify which areas need the most attention and create a realistic timeline.
Throughout the engagement, we provide regular guidance sessions, documentation reviews, and strategic planning support. The frequency and focus of these sessions adjust based on your project's stage and emerging needs.
Measurable Progress Points
You'll know you're making progress when platform submission materials are prepared correctly, your marketing approach has clear action items, and you understand the business aspects of your launch. These aren't abstract improvements - they're concrete deliverables and knowledge gains.
We track progress through specific milestones like completed platform requirements, finalized press materials, and approved submission builds. Each milestone brings you closer to a confident, well-prepared launch.
Realistic Timeline Expectations
Publishing timelines vary based on your starting point and target platforms. Most developers work with us for 2-4 months from initial consultation through launch. This timeframe allows for proper preparation, platform review cycles, and pre-launch marketing activities.
If your game is close to release-ready, the timeline shortens. If significant preparation work is needed, we extend the timeline accordingly. The goal is launching when you're actually ready, not rushing to meet an artificial deadline.
Our Commitment to Your Success
Clear Communication Throughout
You'll always know what's happening, what's next, and why we recommend certain approaches. We explain platform requirements and marketing strategies in plain language, not industry jargon. If something isn't clear, we clarify it until you're comfortable moving forward.
Responsive Support
When questions or challenges arise during the publishing process, you'll get timely responses. We understand that platform submission windows and marketing opportunities often require quick decisions. Our team is structured to provide support when you need it.
No-Obligation Initial Consultation
Before you commit to the service, we offer a consultation where we discuss your project and determine if publishing support is what you need right now. Sometimes developers need different services first, and we'll tell you that honestly. This conversation helps both of us decide if working together makes sense.
Focus on Your Goals
Our recommendations center on what you're trying to achieve, not what we think you should do. If your goal is a small, focused launch, we help with that. If you're aiming for broader platform coverage, we adjust our approach accordingly. Your vision guides our support.
