GAMESbrief is changing

View comments

May 21, 2010 |

Regular readers will know that I am about to publish my ebook, a 200 page guide called How to Publish a Game. It’s due out on Tuesday 25th May.

It will mark a transition for GAMESbrief.

I’ve been writing GAMESbrief for about 18 months now. It’s been fun. My posts have got shorter, quicker to write and, I hope, more interesting. But they’ve been reactive. I’ve been responding to events with analysis. And I want to change that.

More accurately, I want to add to that. I want GAMESbrief to become THE resource for anyone who wants to publish a game.

That may mean existing publishers who want data and knowledge about PSN, Facebook or iPhone.

It might be AAA console developers wanting to invest their meagre profits into self-publishing a game they are passionate about rather than making a prototype and hawking it around to the dwindling number of global publishers.

Or it might be one guy (or girl) with coding skills and a cool idea who wants to release it on the iPhone or Facebook.

I want to help them all.

I won’t stop writing analysis, but I might start focusing a little more on statistics, analysis and insight that will help people publish their games digitally. I will publish a bit more about sales, marketing, distribution and finance.

In short, I’ll be adding practical advice to my theoretical analysis.

I hope you like the change over the coming months. Please tell me what you’d like GAMESbrief to offer by writing in the comments.

And if you think this is a terrible idea, now is the time to shout.

    I know I'll still be reading, the new focus is still of great interest to me, but please don't drop the analysis and reaction completely! Best of luck!

    The change would make your blog even more useful to me. As always, if you wish particular input according to my expertise, I'll happily assist!

    I'm always interested in guest posts. What sort of thing do you focus on?

    Sounds good and if you could develop a digital distribution sales chart for the popular platforms (or do whatever you can best approximate), that'd be really cool.
