It does not have to be the "Game of the Year". You should be aware that there are many good games and ideas out there and that it will also need luck, relations and the right timing to have one's games published by one of the game publishers.


Powered by Mücke Spiele: Here you find detailed information on how we can support the development, production and marketing/sales of your game.


In general, there are two ways for marketing your games:


Distribution as key element

After some rejections, many authors begin to think of founding their own company and to do it all by themselves. In view of the technical developments, a product today can be much more easily be realized than some years ago. Also at smaller print-runs.

However, often the most critical point is that people tend to forget the selling strategy. One will be able to sell game at the big fairs, but what besides that? How to sell off the remaining copies? Unfortunately, there are many examples of private bankruptcies deriving from that problem.

So please think also of a realistic distribution marketing!
