About Square Enix Collective
Hi Phil. In your own words, what exactly is Square Enix Collective?
“We help them publish their game – but we’re different to a traditional publisher, because we don’t take ownership of the game or intellectual property, and the devs still have full creative control.
Our role is to take the lead on marketing and communications (with approval from the Indie devs), and provide advice and guidance where we can.Ok, so why do you do this? What’s the point of Square Enix Collective?
I guess that answer has two parts. Firstly, it’s an incredibly crowded market, and it can be tough for Indie developers to get their games out in front of people. Our goal is to help people create sustainable businesses within the Indie space, and our resources, connections and even just the Square Enix name helps us do that.
So what’s in this for us? That brings me onto my second point – independent development is where the most innovation and creativity take place.
Gaming is a creative medium – new ideas, fresh thinking, and rising talent are all necessary for the market to thrive – and a thriving market is good for all of us.
So if we contribute towards the creativity of the gaming industry, we also help ourselves – that’s why all our profits go back into Indie development.
