Dark771 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Of all the indie publishers, which one of them do you love best? Indie publishers like Team17, Devolver, Adult Swim, Digerati, Curve Digital, Plug In Digital, Ratalaika, Merge Games, SOEDESCO, HeadUp Games, Ripstone LTD, Rising Star Games and such. And which games they published do you like? Edit: Before you comment, I should point out I am only talking about PUBLISHERS, not developers. Here are a few examples for differences Indie Publishers: Devolver, Digerati, Team17, Ratalaika Games, Curve Digital, tinyBuild Indie Developers: Team Meat, SuperGiant Games, Vile Monarch, Psyonix Edited May 1, 2019 by Dark771 Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Ratalaika, of course! But in all honesty, even I'm sick of their easy plats (I haven't played a Ratalaika game since they started their blitz). One I like that you didn't mention is WayForward. They publish the Shantae games, but also have published a lot of other retro-styled titles. Adventure Time: Secret of the Nameless Kingdom is a personal favorite, but I also enjoyed the Shadowgate-inspired Goosebumps: The Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaikichiKawachi Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Based on the quality of their previous output, I would buy anything, sight unseen, from Supergiant Games and Drinkbox Studios. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Studio MDHR, Motion Twin, thatgamecompany, Matt Makes Games, and Team Cherry all have my attention right now. Lots of great indie developers out there... and some not so great ones too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEI2EK Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Devolver Digital and Wayforward are both fantastic. Supergiant games as well. Don't Starve isn't really my thing but Klei is really good too, mark of the ninja is a fantastic game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonemankane Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Milkstone Studios. is a good indie dev/ publisher. they made ziggurat and white noise 1 and 2. all 3 of them games are great. also another publisher is 505 games. they published sniper elite 3, payday 2 and terraria just to name a few.

Kristycism Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) I will buy anything Supergiant games sells, their games are excellent! And thatgamecompany has great games to relax with, so I'd probably buy anything from them too when I need something to chill with. I hope Team Cherry stick around for a long time to come and make more quality games - Hollow Knight is one of the best indie games I've ever played (and also one of the best Metroidvanias) and I'm really looking forward to Silk Song (and hoping it releases on PS4, but I'll still play on PC if not). And also Ghost Town Games (makers of Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2) are amazing - every game and DLC release they make is great in its own way, and I'm looking forward to the next two DLC episodes they release for some more kitchen madness! EDIT: I just realised you said Publishers, I named Devs. So uh...Team 17 would be my go-to for new Indie games as most of their stuff is good quality. And Team Cherry self-publish so they still fit.

Yep Supergiant is easily my favorite, really hope Hades comes to PS4 its not even a finished game and I already have like 75 hours into it. I also love Motion twin even tho they have only made Deadcells so far, they have been great devs giving free content and updates every couple of months. I hope they make more games with the success that came from Deadcells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the games they publish are very cheap to make, or they have an infinite money cheat for Barclays Bank. Not a lot of success comes from them. Would you say the Sherlock games generate the most cash for them? Even Vampyr bombed... sadly. I don't really play a lot of indie games at all so don't know the publisher names, but whoever was behind 'Beholder' gets a round of applause from me. The game and presentation for it was superb.

Sky_RykerXD Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Curve Digital is the publisher of Beholder, and many other great indie titles. One of my favs. Devolver Digital is another favorite. Love the fact that one year they didn't want to waste the absurd amount for an E3 booth and instead put a balloon in a parking lot. Great games too. Adult Swim. Wouldn't have the great crazy games/shows without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they are doing well and Vampyr was a success. Focus and Dontnod are gonna team up again to make something even bigger than Vampyr, hopefully the sequel cuz I loved the game.

I think Divinity did quite well (it got a sequel, after all, which was published by Namco). I think Focus does OK, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer-Girl-Noire Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 devolver. they know there audience and always seem to always publish games you didn't know you wanted or needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinastran Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Electronic Arts. Sure, they publish games with questionable quality and not everything works on day one, week one...month one...y-year one?... And granted, maybe their games are riddled with microtransactions but when you're four guys and a dog in a basement the quality control can't be superb everytime, and the cash gotta come in somehow. 11 Bit Studios is pretty good as well, I guess... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA is a AAA publisher, so EA is NOT allowed. And again, INDIE publishing labels only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasondm300 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) I dont know if they would be considered AAA, but Xseed is always a good bet. If they are to big, the i'll go with devolver. Almost all the games ive played of theirs are great. Nicalis is pretty great as well. Edited May 8, 2019 by jasondm300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to break it to you but I wasn't being serious. Try reading it again with a heavy dose of sarcasm in mind. Also, 11 Bit Studios is an indie publisher.

Seasonreaper Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Curve Digital have put out some solid material, but I gotta hand it to Devolver. The games they choose to publish are always quirky in just the right kind of way for me and are generally top notch, plus their E3 conferences are the main reason to watch anything related to E3 these days.
