Forgotten Seas News

We have some great news to share today -

[hr][/hr]
[h3]Forgotten Seas is officially joining forces with Freedom Games![/h3]

[hr][/hr]
For those of you who may not know, having a game publisher like Freedom Games greatly helps indie devs like myself focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, publishers help in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with.

Freedom Games felt like home right from the get-go! We had worked on "Forgotten Seas" for several years before it saw the light of day. The decision to share your hard work is always a tough one. Several publishers were interested in our project, and it was clear to us that our project had outgrown our small indie team.

Freedom Games stood out clearly because of their resolve to help small indie teams, their extensive background in classic gaming, and their drive to ensure that the games offer something deeper than just the first couple hours (something that has eroded over the last decade). We like in-depth games and wanted a publisher that shared the same passion for our project, as we had. We believe that our partnership with Freedom Games will thrive in the coming years.
