Tripwire Presents expands publishing operations for smaller indie studios

Tripwire Interactive's publishing arm, Tripwire Presents, is expanding its operations to support smaller independent game developers. GamesIndustry.biz and Inven Global both report that the publisher behind Killing Floor and Maneater is launching a program that starts with five games on Steam. [1][3]

According to GamesIndustry.biz, the program will focus on self-published indie titles at any stage, including pre-release, early access, and post-launch. Early access refers to a business model where players buy and play a game while it is still in development. [1]

GamesIndustry.biz reported that Tripwire Presents will provide help with cross-promotion, platform relationships, commercial strategy, public relations, content creators, and events. The publisher will also offer guidance on pricing, discounts, and lifecycle management. [1]

Tripwire Interactive said the partnerships are designed to scale support for smaller independent developers and their titles, GamesIndustry.biz and GamesBeat reported. [1][2]
