Indie Game Publishing Resources
February 13, 2021 ⌦ Resources ⌦ Publishing ⌦ Retail ⌦ Wholesale
This is more of a living list for me to remember resources as I find them. May be updated as I find ones that work better for my needs or are easier to work with.
Offset Printing
Offset printers do bulk runs of a product. This can increase the quality and accuracy (margins, borders, color consistency, etc.) of the printing.
Jukebox - A decent Mixam alternative1 2
Short Run - Recommended by Floating Chair
Print on Demand
Some printers will work with publishers so that they will print as many copies or editions. The quality of these is often not as nice or high as Offset Printed products.
Specialty or Custom Components
From game tokens to boards to cards. Usually the kind of stuff that’d be Kickstarter Extras.
Board Game Assets
Panda Games – Looks like this may be breaking more into more full-scale industry level production
Boxes and Packaging
Patches
Apparel
Bonfire – Short run, campaigns. Equivalent of Print on Demand.
Hello Merch (US)12 - They also do vinyl records, hats, totes.
Awesome Merch (UK)13 - They also do print stationery, stickers, totes, etc.
Trading/Playing Cards
Misc. Merch
Music Media
Retro Style Media (UK) – MiniDiscs
Retro Style Media (UK) – Cassette Cases
