Announcing my collaboration with Elda Entertainment on KeeperRL
After a bit of back and forth to understand each other's needs, we have agreed to start working together. Of course, KeeperRL v1.0 has just recently come out, so this isn't going to be a traditional developer-publisher relationship. Still, there is a lot of opportunity for them to help me with things such as marketing, community management, product strategy, and all the other things that publishers do.
Personally, I'm excited about this arrangement, as the folks at Elda Entertainment are going to pick up parts of my work where I've always fallen short. Because of this, I'll be able to focus more on the game itself. I'm still going to be involved in the community, but they are also going to pop in on Steam forums and Discord, perhaps helping me stay a bit more in touch with important things going on among the players.
I'm also very happy to have them on the team. For the past eleven years, I've had to make all the important decisions by myself, so getting advice from someone with so much experience is going to be a big relief for me. Hopefully, you will also notice the results of our cooperation in the game itself and everything around it.
