  • Understanding what publishers do and who they are
  • How to self-publish your game
  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • Distribution

Was enjoying it immensely until the cringey and gushy adulation for ‘Arte’. I’m not even sure what that is but it was abundantly clear the author was paying heavy lip-service to work colleagues or institutions they’re involved with, brings into question the validity and bias of the rest of the work unfortunately.

Good but not impartial

I rarely write reviews, but given the specific nature of the book, I thought it might be helpful. If you’re like me, an indie developer who has already prototyped your game and is trying to decide whether or not to self publish, read this book. Before I read it, I was intent on doing the work to self-publish, but after listening, I’ve changed my mind.

I think I’m going to pursue a publishing partner after all so that I can focus my efforts on development and gain quick access to key players and services in the industry without having to build a social presence by myself. The benefits seem to be worth the opportunity cost in my case.

In your case, listening will at the very least provide some perspective on making that decision. I feel lucky that there is even a book in such a niche genre!

Exactly what I needed

As an indie developer looking to publish my first fully independent game, I had high hopes for this book to provide clear steps and valuable insights into the publishing process. Unfortunately, the book fell short of my expectations.
While it contains numerous interviews with indie gamedevs and publishers, the content often felt sanitized and stilted. The writing is generalized and not useful. Instead of actionable advice, the book frequently offered vague statements like "there are no one-size-fits-all solutions," which made it difficult to extract practical steps for my own journey.
The marketing case study given at the end of the book, Vectronom, appears to have been a commercial failure (see Steam results via vginsights.com), rendering it an ineffective case study. This was despite the game's excellent Steam reviews and being signed by ARTE, the European culture TV channel, and getting multi-channel coverage.
I was seeking a guide with concrete steps and strategies to navigate the challenges of publishing independently, but this book did not deliver on that front. It felt more like a collection of stories rather than a practical manual, making it less useful for someone looking for direct, actionable advice.

Full of interviews. Not very actionable
