\"Legend_of_Indierock\"<\/a><\/p>\n

GOG.com has announced its new Indie Games Portal<\/a>. The submission portal allows indie game developers to apply for self-publishing through GOG.com with an “industry standard” 70\/30 split. Unlike most other digital self-publishing arrangements, GOG.com will offer an advance on royalties. The developer will get a 60\/40 arrangement until the advance is paid back. The split will then revert to the standard deal.<\/p>\n

In addition to offering advances, GOG.com also promises to help market indie games submitted and approved through their program.<\/p>\n

Every release becomes our website’s main feature and gets a campaign on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and other social channels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the 70% split may be the “standard” for the industry, many indie developers have been attracted to the Humble Bundle site because it can offer up to 95%<\/a> of the of revenue split. For cash-strapped independent studios, the possibility of an advance may sway them towards the GOG.com offer over the competitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\nGOG.com offers sweet cash to woo independent developers -
