Another publishing label from an indie developer has entered the fray, this time from Owlcat Games. The Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader studio formed a label with a focus on narrative-driven titles.
These games don't have to be RPGs, but must still "emphasize strong storytelling, rich characters, and immersive worldbuilding." For more "gameplay-first" titles with multiplayer focus, Owlcat indicated those would fall under its separate META publishing label.
After self-publishing Trader and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, the studio wanted to help teams in similar situations. Its ultimate aim is to "deliver new, exciting experiences akin to what we as a studio aim to create ourselves."
Like with other indie labels, Owlcat will provide full help with development, marketing, community management, and testing. Porting services was also explicitly stated to help studios "expand [their] reach across multiple platforms."
Owlcat has already two clients lined up in Serbian studio Emotion Spark and Polish team Another Angle. The former is working on the narrative-RPG Rue Valley about a man in a time loop, while the latter's Shadow of the Road is an isometric-RPG set in feudal Japan.
Both projects are said to be in "early development," but will have a larger reveal sometime in August.
Interested developers are encouraged to contact Owlcat here.
