What Publishers Want To See

on YouTube ↗01h 04m

" summary

HandyGames wants a clear one‑page pitch plus a vertical slice or short demo (five minutes or less) and a two-minute trailer or play‑through link; include target platforms, business model, funding needs, and which services (QA, localization, porting) are required. Publishers prefer premium cross‑platform projects over free‑to‑play, fund the game not the company, and expect teams with shipping experience or a plan to hire missing roles; expect feedback in 1–2 weeks.
