We’re excited to announce that Sands of Aura will be published by Freedom Games https://freedom.gg ! Teaming up with a publisher is what will help us deliver the best possible game to the most players.
For those of you who may not know, a game publisher not only can provide additional investment and funding for developing the game, but also takes care of a lot of the business and marketing side of releasing a game. That includes managing our store pages, marketing and advertising the game, helping showcase the game at both digital and live events (like E3!!), PR, and other similar functions. Really it lets us totally focus on working to make the game the best it can be, and provides us with the resources to do so.
You may also be concerned about horror stories of publishers ruining the vision of a game or forcing arbitrary restrictions on the dev team. For Freedom, that can’t be further from the reality we have experienced with them. Freedom has been an amazing partner to us, only enhancing and supporting our vision. We were very careful when considering which publishers offer to accept, and selected Freedom because they are committed to our vision of the game, and only want to see it reach its full potential as we see it. We maintain complete creative and development freedom, and Freedom (heh) wouldn’t have it any other way!
With all this being said, we also want to thank our fans that have been supporting us along the way. Without you, this may never have happened, so thank you all! And as a reminder, if you haven’t already wishlisted Sands of Aura, please do. It really helps us out. Also feel free to follow us on socials (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and join our Discord!
