Publisher?

Anyone with good guesses?



Do they even have one yet?|||No - Thats why they are still allowed to communicate with us |||In that case, screw publishers!|||Since when do they need a publisher? Screw them publishers, indeed.|||Digital distribution ftw.|||With all due respect for GPG but with no publisher attached to a project like this, even if it's just late in development when it gets signed, KaC won't allow for the same audiovisual standards and options we saw in the original SupCom games. Animating a fantasy world is gonna be a lot more intensive than a sci-fi universe. At least they already got the Cybrannasaurus fire breath for a dragon. :)



If GPG even had to sign with a publisher for Demigod (not exactly the most content-rich game ever) then I am afraid that a publisher for KaC will be just as essential.



Best options?



Don't know, every publisher had a f*ckup sometimes. I think currently EA Partners or a known German publisher (like Deep Silver/Koch) looks the most interesting.



Just don't get involved with SEGA, Jowood, Ubisoft or Atari. Bad stuff will come from that imo.|||German publisher? Really?



Square Enix was already weird enough =P|||Ryuken|||speaking of which; what ever happened to that competitor to Demigod that EA was peddling?



vapourware?|||I bet even DeadMG could program a competitor to Demigod and actually have it compete.|||Stin|||BattleForge isn't even like Demigod and it's not all that good, either.|||EeeeK! BaTtLeFoRgE. -lol

Kings and Castles needs a developer that doesn't go by the name 'Electronic Arts'.



we don't want the excessive invocation of "crunch time" layed on the team just to launch the game on time.|||I thought gpg would be self-publishing?|||GPG are -sort- of self publishing, rather than dealing through a central publisher who then sells the rights out regionally, they will be doing the selling themselves.



It should help them avoid being under the kosh of one big company and give them a little more creative freedom.|||Yes so instead of being a slave they are more like a prostitute.|||scotchtape622|||Did they say for certain they were self publishing?|||Ryuken|||That's why I say it. :) Space Siege wasn't Sega's only f*ckup on PC btw (and it also wasn't the game it was supposed to be at first if we can believe the rumours). Just ask Petroglyph.|||Demigod had to be the most content less modern game in the history of gaming, that's not a good sign. The game had 8 maps, of which only 2 are regularly played and most play cataract most of the time.|||Demigod's faults or not, Stardock is one of the better publishers to be partnered with.|||Ryuken|||I'd put this one under rumours and off-the-record talk. GPG can't directly say anything like that or they wouldn't find a publisher for a new game anymore. I heard the same story about Petroglyph and their Sega-published Universe at War btw.|||And really I wouldn't doubt those stories. On the publishers defense they are trying to spend the least amount of money on a game while getting the most out from it. Some just really suck at that balancing act whether they make money or not from a game.
