Call Of The Sea Publisher Shares Publishing Agreement To The Public
Video game publisher Raw Fury has made its publishing agreement available for everyone to read. The purpose of this move is to help the games industry become more transparent about its practices and improve themselves.
While the publicly-available publishing agreement provides no detail on marketing, PR, sales, and QA, it mostly serves to show the basics of how video game publishing essentially works.
Raw Fury is best known for publishing indie games like Out Of The Blue’s Call Of The Sea, Plausible Concept’s Bad North, and Upstream Arcade’s West Of Dead.
In a blog post, Raw Fury CEO Jogan Toresson said:
“We believe having publisher contracts out in the open helps level the playing field, and allows devs to have a more intimate understanding of the machinations of different deals when they start looking for partnerships.
We hope sharing this knowledge can help combat shady practices where predatory people and companies fleece devs by virtue of this knowledge being so scarce, trapping developers in bad deals through the obscurity of legal jargon.
When you’ve been in the industry for a while you start hearing the horror stories, and while this is not going to end all of that it’s a step in the right direction.”
It is also available in Spanish, Brazilian-Portuguese, Russian, French, Japanese, Korean and Croatian.
The publishing agreement has been made available through the launch of a new DevResources page on their official website.
