The Playing Narratives program was initiated and implemented by the Goethe-Institut and the French Institute in Serbia together with SGA, and the lecture dedicated to the publication of independent video games is realized in cooperation with the German gaming accelerator Spielfabrique, which is one of the project partners. This accelerator program for beginners and young entrepreneurs in the gaming market is the first of its kind in Germany, aimed at helping game developers achieve their goals in a more professional, faster and more efficient way. The program is based on a comprehensive mentoring package and a first-class network of companies, gaming experts, investors and partners in the creative industries.
The lecture The Publishing Challenge for Video Game Developers with SpielFabrique is giving detailed explanations on the meaning/definition of publishing for independent developers and provides a framework to follow when deciding to go for a publishing partnership or not. Also, I will provide a short view of the current market evolutions and the pro and cons of the platforms for publishing.
