Putting the Developer First: From Veterans to Indie Publisher
summary
Skystone Games positions itself as a multi‑platform, developer‑first publisher that invests in people and moves fast: a $1M early investment mentioned leads to an 8M‑copy success, another partner studio sells 8M copies, and deals get signed in three days with long forms done in under a week. Skystone plans 4–6 releases next year including Animals the Game (PC/console/mobile, survival zombie, 2021) and Switzerland Crew (procedural adventure, PC/console H1 2021), touts a 24‑hour pitch response, and cites a zero‑budget mobile launch that earned 70 articles and 100 influencers (30M reach).
