PayDay 2 publisher Starbreeze establishes new indie label

PayDay 2 publisher Starbreeze has established a new indie publishing label, aptly dubbed 'Starbreeze IndieLabs,' to push smaller projects into the limelight. 

The first title to be published under the IndieLabs banner will be Lion Game Lion's top-down arena shooter, AntiSphere. 

Starbreeze has signed a $300,000 agreement with the studio to bring the game to PC and other platforms.  

The deal will see Lion Game Lion retain 100 percent of the AntiSphere IP, although Starbreeze aims to recoup its full investment and will take a 30 percent slice of game revenues after distribution fees.  

"Under the new publishing sub-label, Starbreeze aims to sign projects smaller in scope and investment to give developers an easy and quick way to reach the market," reads a Starbreeze blog post. 

"Starbreeze aims to be a best in class partner enabling developers to retain a large portion of IP-rights and fair revenue shares."
