Indie games newsletter Pantaloon has launched a brand new publishing label.
The venture has two titles currently in its line-up, narrative game Sub-Verge and Solitaire project Occlude. Pantaloon was previously a newsletter and resource for indie developers. Said newsletter has close-to 30,000 subscribers.
“The world probably doesn’t need another indie publisher,” founder Jamin Smith said.
“But our vision is built off a different set of principles. With an existing awareness platform and terms that give novel agency and security to development partners, we then seek to actively court risk, finding peculiar or experimental games that can chart unexplored or choppy genre-waters.
"‘A home for misfits’ is more than just a tagline; it’s a call to arms for games that don’t fit traditional publishing structures.”
