Sending Your Games to Publishers

One of the best ways to get your game in front of as many eyes as possible, is to get a publishing deal. A great example of this, is David Reichelt’s Color Switch. It was published by Fortafy Games and has amassed 100 million downloads in the past 8 months.

Creating a quality game like David accomplished with Color Switch and having a good publisher can really catapult you to success.

    Hello Trey,
    Suggestion:
    Instead of submitting to publishers, why not create the BB software to publish yourself?

    Great Content,
    You have explained the importance of a Publisher.
    But the main Question is how you contact these Publishers or how you reach out to them. Is through the email in the contact menu.
    Can you please explain to me how you reach out to these publishers like how you can submit you game to them.
    Kind Regards.

      Different publishers have different ways to handle this, so you should always follow their directions. Typically, it’s emailing screenshots and a video of your game so they can quickly get a feel for what you’ve created.
