Follow on Google News | EEDAR Founder & Former Zynga New York GM Join Four Other Industry Vets to Launch Indie PublisherWhile many topics were covered during Snow Cannon Games’ launch event, the theme of the evening was discoverability and what it takes for an indie studio to be successful in today’s ultra competitive market. “Releasing a good game is no longer enough,” said Geoffrey Zatkin, co-founder of EEDAR, the leading provider of video game research. “To be successful, developers need good marketing and other business skills—a fact proven by the tens of thousands of games we have analyzed at EEDAR. Unfortunately, these skills are not core competencies for most indies, which is why so many great indie games fail.” “The people who comprise our team not only have the necessary skills to successfully launch games, but proven track records of doing it, said Espen Askvik, CEO of Snow Cannon Games. “From design to monetization to marketing and sales, our team has worked on hundreds of titles across platforms and genre. We’re excited to put this experience toward games we believe deserve loads of attention and success.” During its launch event, Snow Cannon Games also revealed the first title it would publish: Shadow Puppeteer, an award-winning, local co-op adventure coming to Wii U™ in late 2015/early 2016. In Shadow Puppeteer, players assume the roles of a boy and his shadow, separated from one another by the evil shadow puppeteer. Players must work together to manipulate light, solving puzzles that bring them closer to finding this villain and freeing other shadows he has stolen.
