Where to find game publishers in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Game Publishers

Game Publishers want to discover and support promising indie game developers. However, they can't get it because they struggle to identify potential indie game developers with high-quality projects.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. IndieScout.

IndieScout: Game Publisher Indie Developer Discovery Platform : IndieScout is a platform that uses AI algorithms and data analysis to help game publishers discover and support promising indie game developers with high-quality projects, streamlining the scouting process. Of course it is much better than the stuff from IndieCade, or Fig!

How to find Game Publishers

You can get insights about the pain points of game publishers if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where game publishers hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of game publishers, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: IndieScout: Game Publisher Indie Developer Discovery Platform.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
