Game publisher: "DiscreetFX GameShop"
Software developers "DiscreetFX", known for recently initiating the "Amizilla" campaign, are going to support game developers in the future:
"DiscreetFX GameShop allows Amiga/AmigaOS 4.0/MorphOS & AROS game developers to focus on what their good at, developing a great game. Game Shop takes care of everything else, free web hosting, marketing, promotion, packaging and shipping.

In these sometimes troubled economic times GameShop fulfills a much needed requirement in this small but regrowing community. It gives new, small, resource hungry game developers a place to publish and host their games. Not all games that are submitted will make the cut but the ones that make it will have a lot less to worry about and can focus on making the best game possible. In the past the Amiga launched the careers of many great game developers. Bullfrog, Core Design & EA just to name a few. With GameShop we hope to spark some new careers for new game developers.
Today's game industry is rift with old worn out ideas that have be rehashed time and time again, have you played to many FPS or RTS games? With GameShop we are hoping to nurture new game developers with fresh ideas for the gaming industry. Now being broke does not mean your great game idea will not be published.
2004 should be a banner year for Amiga & Amiga compatible systems. All those new customers will need relaxing and entertaining games on their systems. And new game authors need free web hosting and low cost no nonsense publishing terms to get their titles available to that user base.
Would you like your game published through the Game Shop? Here are the steps you need to take.
- Contact us at gameshop AT discreetfx DOT com
- Be ready to provided details about your game including screen shots, demo versions, development track record and or story boards
