A half-assed segway into this introduction to Walkabout Games.
Listen, there's no interesting way to start talking about a publisher, really, but bear with us, these guys are worth a minute of your time.
We haven't met anyone like them. Walkabout Games is a company that takes promising game ideas and helps the authors develop them into actual games. The main criteria are:
- your game has to have an interesting idea behind it,
- it has to try to break out of the mold.
That's right, they want to make something new, not just rehash old and tired ideas. That's why they picked up Liberated (a playable graphic novel), Wanderlust: Travel Stories (playable travel memoirs), and other games that will be revealed soon. We believe this is just a healthy thing to do for video games in general: to support the more ambitious, outside-the-box ideas.
So, give Walkabout Games a shot. Visit their Steam page, follow them. It's an easy, free, and effective way to support them.
