Hi All! You might have noticed a small change in the Publisher field on our Steam page. WE HAVE A PUBLISHER! Its Movie Games, and were very happy to be working with them. Heres what this means, and why we partnered with them.
1. What this means for the game and the Patrons Nothing really, but also good things. How come? We still have full creative control over the games content. Also, everything regarding our Patreon will remain the same. No changes here. The folks at Movie Games got in touch with us because they like what we do and they dont want to change the game, just help it grow. Our relationship with Movie games affords us some much-needed QA support and localization, as well as some mentoring from acclaimed producers. Were gamers and developers first and foremost, but have little experience bringing a game to market. We simply havent got the resources or experience to maximize our potential, and Movie Games has the talent, resources and experience to fill that gap. Were very pleased to be working with them! 2. What this means for our potential success This is where the fun begins. Well get full marketing support, translations, and a proper release. Theyre here to help us to attract new players and expand our audience. I wont spoil things to come just yet. Youll see. The great thing about it is that were talking about everything, all the ideas are approved by us first, so you can be sure the soul of Beyond Sunset is intact. And if they help us get noticed, then this may not be our first and last game at the same time. 3. Who are these guys anyway? And why we partnered with Movie Games They are an indie publisher. Theyre mostly known for Gas Station Simulator and Drug Dealer Simulator, but theyre expanding into other genres. Theyre making MythBusters: The Game, they have a horror series Lust, and theyre working on an RTS called Fire Commander etc. Fun fact: Movie Games works with the core dev of the first The Witcher, and also with God of Wars David Jaffe! It turns out that theyre big boomer shooter fans with ties to the community, and thats how we got in touch. So far, its been great talking about our plans for the future.
