We at BitRate love making and playing games of all kinds. As an indie studio, we know how difficult it can be to get your game noticed.
That’s why we decided to use our platform to give back to the community!
Our Core Principles:
Transparency & Honesty
A core aspect of developing games is being able to be open and transparent with the team. Learning from both success and failure is KEY to growing as a game developer, and being open about that allows us to course correct any mistakes and celebrate our VICTORIES!
This is why its important to us that we share any analytics and statistics as soon as possible with you and your team.
Whether it’s about marketing, features, feedback, play-testing or any other aspects of game development are open for discussion.
Creative Liberty
You call the shots on your game! We will be there for support, of course. The rest is all up to you and your team to create the game that YOU envision.
You’re not just limited to development, you will have creative liberty to join in on any aspect of the publishing process.
Trust & Respect
The whole process of your game’s development is in your hands. That means we can help you stay on track and help mitigate your stress, but we will not take over your process planning. (that is ultimately up to you)
We will always be here to talk through any aspect of the development process. That includes but is not limited to:
Bottlenecks
Bugs
Structure
Networking
General Pain-points
How We Can Help
Marketing
Press
Community Management
QA
Development( programming, art, sound, etc..) and Porting your games to other platforms
Let’s Work Together!
We’re a small team with limited resources, but we will strive to do our best to work together and get your game to completion. before you submit your pitch to us, here is a quick overview of what our terms are to consider:
To make things easier for both parties, we ask that you come to us with a prepared GDD (Game design document) or pitch deck. Being prepared in advance will allow us to reasonably create a timeline of events and get off the ground running to create your game
Our budget is limited currently, So we cannot offer much for funding but what we can offer is displayed in the bullet points under the “How we can help” section.
Its your game, so its your IP. You keep any and all Intellectual Property for your game and how it is used
We will only ask for a small portion of any revenue made ( 20% ) and will not ask for recoup costs if any are used. We just want to help you and your game succeed. So in short 0% recoup and a 20/80 split in your favor
Lastly we are currently seeking small to medium sized games. As fun as it is to work on multi year projects, We would like to keep focus on any projects you may have as well as ours. (we can do our best to help you keep scope down and fun up if that is one of your worries)
If this is all great with you then fill out the form and hit that send button to send us your pitch! We eagerly await what you have to show!
