Six One Indie has launched its own publishing label called Six One Indie Publishing. The label aims to provide comprehensive support to indie developers in areas such as launch strategy, media relations, showcase integration, QA testing, and localization. The number of games hitting the market grows by the day, but unfortunately, the people to cover and amplify them seem to dwindle just as fast,” said Six One Indie creative director Mike Towndrow.
Six One Indie has evolved into an ecosystem that can now offer a unique opportunity to get indies in front of players through fresh, unconventional means.
Towndrow emphasized that the label is built for the new wave of indie, where passion, connection, and creative control are prioritized. “Indies deserve more than a checklist, they deserve a major push backed by authenticity, genuine enthusiasm, and a new approach for an unpredictable industry,” he added. Six One Indie, founded in 2018, made its first showcase debut in 2022.
With the launch of its publishing label, the organization strengthens its commitment to the indie game community by providing necessary resources and innovative strategies to help indie developers succeed in a competitive market.
