Publish My Game: Open Mic Q&A with publishers

What the talk is about

A panel of five publishers takes an open-mic Q&A, with the moderator introducing the guests and the audience asking the questions. The publishers urge developers to fill in their profiles in the conference app and send clear meeting requests, otherwise they simply can't be found. The best pitch is a short gameplay video, a clear vision of the game, key selling points and a test build; clear English or help with materials matters too. They discuss how deals often collapse over small contract details, disagreements and a poor grasp of what a publisher does, when to self-publish and when not to, restrictions on new game licenses in China, and trends such as genre blending and ad monetization, while pure copycats are unwelcome. Useful for indie developers preparing to pitch to publishers.
