GameHorizon and Game Republic is to host an international self-publishing event in York on 8th April 2010.

The ‘State of Independence’ conference will focus on self-publishing.  Speakers already confirmed include Charles Cecil (Revolution), Paul Farley (Tag Games), Patrick O’Lunaigh, (N Dreams), Joe Wee (Chillingo) and Ed Vaizey, MP (Shadow Minister for Culture) – with more big names to follow.

There has been a resurgence of the independent video games developer over few years with developers looking to self-publish via digital distribution routes to break from the traditional console value chain to gain more control of their IP and finances.  Indies are smaller and quicker and if they move fast can lead the way! 

Key areas to be covered at State of Independence will be:

  • Different routes to market and new business models
  • How to fund your game
  • Marketing your own games – including PR, viral marketing and customer service
  • Networking with other games industry professionals
  • Learning from successful companies

As well as giving developers a greater understanding of the brave new world of digital self-publishing and advice on how to succeed, State of Independence will be an ideal opportunity to network with other independents, investors and buyers.
