To help indie games find their audience, YouTuber Jason ‘Videogamedunkey’ Gastrow and his wife, Leah, created an indie game publisher known as BIGMODE. The publisher’s goal is to support original, fun and quality indie games and will be able to help with funding, merchandising, PR, development support and more. The website for BIGMODE also notes that it will not help games that feature crypto, NFT or blockchain. The site also includes a place for networking, enabling those in the gaming industry to get involved in BIGMODE’s efforts. At the moment, BIGMODE has not announced any projects, but it is possible that the publisher will receive a ton of opportunities in the coming weeks, given the reach of Videogamedunkey. The creator posted a YouTube video detailing his reasons for creating the publisher and noted that he doesn’t want to have creative control over anyone’s games. For now, it remains to be seen what will become of this publisher. Will BIGMODE publish the next big indie game? Who knows! Still, it’s exciting to see someone use their platform in such a powerful and positive way. Videogamedunkey seems to be a big believer in indie games, so they’ll definitely be interested in exciting projects. What do you think of Videogamedunkey’s latest venture?
