All Caps on the lessons learned from working with a games publisher

At Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki 2016, ALL CAPS CMO Christian Hansen gave a talk on the lessons the studio learned from working with a publisher.

"We made mistakes as an indie team - horrible mistakes business-wise," started Hansen, explaining why he felt it was important to share his lessons.

Find The One

He started by talking about finding the right partner, suggesting that bigger publishers might "drop you" faster than a smaller one, because the smaller publisher has a lot more riding on the success of your game.

He also said that you should "get a contract, fast," to make sure you don't immediately lose the deal within a few weeks because you had nothing in writing to stop the publisher from simply walking away.
