Freedom Games today unveils its evolution into indie.io, marking a significant milestone in the company's journey. The newly rebranded indie.io is a full-service developer support, release management, and marketing platform exclusively designed for independent game developers, offering hands-on support and strategic guidance at all stages of a project. This paradigm shift comes in the wake of Freedom Games’ success with numerous titles, including Coromon, HumanitZ, and Echoes of the Plum Grove under its belt - and continues its tradition of supporting independent creators holistically and equitably.
With an average of 300+ new games released on Steam weekly, developers must have more than a well-designed game to emerge within their field; distribution, marketing, and promoting titles can mean the difference between obscurity and success. The team behind indie.io intends to level the playing field, carefully cultivating a comprehensive suite of resources, services, and management tools to help independent developers cut through the noise and maximize their audience. A snapshot of indie.io’s key features include:
- 🔧 Development Toolkit: A wide range of powerful tools and frameworks to streamline the game development process, including game focus testing, console and devkit access, and in-house QA.
- 📈 Marketing and Promotion: Expert guidance and tailored strategies spanning community engagement, PR, events, and advertising, from announcement through post-launch.
- 💡 Educational Resources: An extensive library of tutorials, guides, and industry insights intended to strengthen developers’ skills and knowledge.
- 🌐 Creative Alliance: Forums for developers to share ideas and collaborate on projects within indie.io's vibrant community.
- 🚀 Launch and Distribution Support: indie.io helps navigate the complexities of game launch and distribution through deep relationships with more than 60 global partners.
