In this captivating episode, we dive into the revolutionary game publishing model of Kepler Interactive. Join our conversation with Catherine Chew, Senior Director of Investments and Business at Kepler, to uncover the secrets behind their unique co-ownership model. In 2021, Kepler has raised $120 million from NetEase in a financing round as part of its launch. At Kepler, studio founders become co-owners with a say in the decision-making process of the collective and are able to utilize the benefits that a model like this can provide. Marketing, operations, finance, publishing, technology and even team expertise: the combination of resources enables each studio to achieve their goals, all while maintaining creative freedom. Among the founding studios at Kepler: A44, Alpha Channel, Awaceb, Ebb Software, Shapefarm, Sloclap and Timberline. The company's executive team is led by the founders of independent video game fund Kowloon Nights. A co-ownership model sounds great on paper, but how does it work in practice? Join us for an insightful conversation that will change the way you think about game development and publishing! Topics Discussed: - Kepler Interactive's co-ownership model and its impact on game publishing - Cat's journey from consulting to joining Kepler Interactive - The origins of the disruptive publishing model created by the founders of Kepler - How Kepler strives for alignment and collaboration among studios - The criteria Kepler looks for when considering new studios to join the collective - The power of collaboration and synergy among studios within Kepler - Kepler's commitment to sustainable growth and organic expansion - The trade-off between rapid scaling and long-term sustainability in the gaming industry - Kepler's vision for the future and their commitment to unique gaming experiences

Recorded at Metatopia Online 2021 Presented by Jon Cole, Oscar Biffi, Katherine Shane, Misha B, Olivia Montoya, Chiara Locatelli. Some small game projects are created by an auteur, who controls every aspect of production. These panelists rejected that approach to create projects working with a team on behalf of their community. How did they balance the community's needs with their ambition? Is it possible to represent a community via anthology at all? Panelists will discuss the nitty gritty processes behind their projects, revealing what worked and what didn't, answering questions, and sharing their hard-won tips for publishing in community.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Indie Game Business! Today, we have a distinguished guest, Ben Kvalo, the Founder and CEO of a confidential and as of yet unannounced video game publisher.

About Michael Mindes In the winter of 2004, Michael decided to start publishing board games; he felt this would be a good way to channel his creative energies, work within his passion, and make a living. His is wife was 100% in support of him and he even had an extraordinarily good game to publish in Gheos, which was later published by Z-Man Games. Yet, as often happens with grand plans and schemes, life came along and changed his course in a fantastic way - his wife was pregnant with their first child. This was even more exciting than publishing board games. However, it threw a financial security monkey wrench into the publishing plan. Both he and his wife wanted her to be able to stay home with their children - that meant he needed a stable job with good income potential. Michael knew he could have the option to work with his father providing financial advice. He know he would be good at it, enjoy it, and gain fulfillment through planning for and protecting lifestyles in retirement. His wife would be able to stay at home, and they could live a comfortable life with relative financial stability. On the other hand, he REALLY wanted to publish board games! Although he chose this route as his family grew - and it proved to be the right financial decision at the time - Michael's heart was still set upon the business world surrounding games. Finally, in March of 2009, he decided to give publishing a chance - in his extra time outside of being married, having two kids, full-time employment, and building a house…Tasty Minstrel Games was born. As of October 17th, 2016, TMG has receiving $2,546,682 in funds from Backers on Kickstarter from 26 individual hobby board gaming projects. Michael has grown his side passion into a multi-award-winning publisher company of hobby board game and a multi-million dollar business.

Week in Geek: Andrew spends some time in Portland, Oregon and hangs out at one of its popular gamer bars, Ground Control. Dan reads Marvel's 2014 mini-series, Deadpool vs. X-Force and really enjoys some clever meta-retcon that happens. Narrative Bifurcation: Dan and Andrew discuss some of the possibilities brought on by Nintendo's very interesting release of Fire Emblem Fate, which is actually two full-priced releases, Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest.  Even then, the ostensible ending is only available via paid-DLC (titled Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation). It's a dangerous tactic, but can be used for good as well. Bye Bye Bioware: Over the last few years, major players at famed video game developer, Bioware, have been hemorrhaging from the company at a surprising rate. However, is it the sign of doom some people are predicting? Leave a comment about this week's show at forall.libsyn.com, or at the official Facebook or Google+ pages.

This week's episode brings a different round table to the mic, as Nayan is off in California for Playstation Experience. Dan and Bryan are joined by Bart, who is our sound engineer and was more than happy to add his voice to the conversation. Besides a riveting discussion of Netflix's new Marvel drama, Jessica Jones, we take a three fold look at the genre of Japanese 16-bit horror. First, there's a talk about Yume Nikki, a psychological horror game that's been on Playism for some time now and is available completely free. Secondly, we discuss Witch's House, a semi-known indie game that Dan's been getting frightened by. Lastly, Bryan talks Memento, an upcoming game on Playism that's sure to both scare and enrapture the right crowd. It might be December, but there's nothing more frightening than the J-Play podcast this week!

Episode 9 finds Dan, Nayan and Bryan back together to continue talking about games, gaming and all things great! Nayan is incredibly excited to break down all the things he loves about the MidBoss game Read Only Memories, but everyone gets distracted by the things around them. From Bojack Horseman to Demon Souls, it's clear that there's so much to say! There are no spoilers contained within, but, if you're on the fence about Read Only Memories, Nayan and Dan's enthusiastic examination of the game's inner mechanisms and how our own lives are mirrored (or at least examined) by playing characters as we, ourselves, would live. It's quite the trip, and one that you should definitely strap in and enjoy!

After an unnaturally long hiatus, J-Play returns with a vengeance! Dan and Nayan are once again joined by Playism Bryran to sit down and chat about all the amazing things on the horizon. We do a small introduction in which Nayan admits that he hates all popular music and has, through sheer force of will, completely avoided Taylor Swift in any shape or form. Then we get a chance to peer behind the curtain and hear the hype and excitement from the lads about upcoming and currently released games. Pink Hour and Pink Heaven are discussed, as well as a bit about Pixel Studios themselves. Additionally, a bit about our upcoming game, GOCCO of War, as well as some anecdotes about future podcast speaker, Hugo. This is is not to be missed!

Episode four joins the trio of Nayan, Dan and Ben as we begin to close in on the finale of Bloodstained's Kickstarter. We marvel at the amazing fan reaction to the very small amount of content currently available for Bloodstained, as well as the excitement for the familiar contest and how this'll drive the fans even further for the future. Nayan talks about the amazing idea of Manstorm, we experience an earthquake and Ben drops absolutely terrible news for everyone concerned. Bonus interview with Dan Moore of Fangamer, who was a huge part of the Kickstarter campaign.

Nayan, Dan and Ben sit back down to discuss...well, the after effects of their last podcast. Dan waxes nostalgic about Tokyo Indie Fest and D4, Nayan absolutely goes fanboy nuts about Bloodstained and Ben sticks true to his word and speaks less than the last cast. Well, somewhat less. Bonus interview with Michiru Yamane, the lead composer for Bloodstained and much more.

Episode five marks the final episode of our Bloodstained campaign. The Playism crew welcomes Ben Judd once more to discuss Mega64, the artwork of Yoshitaka Amano, E3, and the unique satisfaction of being at the top of your game.

Episode 9 of the Green Ronin Podcast was recorded live at Norwescon on April 12, 2009. Green Ronin president Chris Pramas moderated a panel called Game Publishing Goes Digital.
