Running a popular mmorpg takes a huge amount of work, and even though I’ve now delegated many of the tasks to other people, it’s still a massive time sink. In those last 8 years I’ve released just one other game, and getting that out of the door was a monumental task. Eight years later the game is going strong with over 200k people still logging in on a regular basis.Īs awesome as this success has been for me, it’s made it difficult for me to feel like I’m still an indie developer. Despite receiving little in the way of press and with no budget to speak of, I managed to attract the attention of millions of gamers worldwide. Back in 2008 I released the zombie mmorpg Dead Frontier ( ).
I like to think I’ve been pretty successful as an indie game developer. I’ve gone ahead and written up the story of how it all happened, in the hope that it may help other would-be publishers, or developers looking for one. This was the first time I’d ever published a game by another indie developer, and I found the journey incredibly eye opening. It was essentially an indie rogue-like inspired by games like FTL, and set in the zombie apocalypse. On April 20th 2016 my company, Creaky Corpse Ltd published a game by Machine22 (Dave Toulouse) titled: March of the Living.
