Do you guys think it’d be a good business move for a two companies to work together and publish games like the big dogs? What I mean is a small company makes a good game and a bigger company publishes and makes it known and does the advertising? I was thinking about doing so and I thought it’d be good idea but I wanna hear from the people here. Just like how games are developed by Retro Studios, Atlus, Intelligent Studios, Capcom, and etc. and published by Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and Sega. What do you guys think?
If you can find a big publisher that’s interested in your game it’s most likely a good idea. Finding that publisher is the hard part though.
It doesn’t have to be so big, just to where they can get your game traffic or at least known.
If you haven’t done a game yet I’d say it’s a bad idea. Only work with people with a proven track record or it’ll all end in tears. So if you haven’t, then start small, test and understand the waters first before jumping in the deep end not knowing how to swim.
Thanks for the advice hippocoder. Although would this be a commerical action or a collabaration?
