Superhot Team, the team behind the fantastic Superhot, will now be supporting indie devs in a not-publisher via a new initiative called Superhot Presents.
“We set out on a mission to find cool, fun, unusual games that might need some help (funding) and support (still funding but also unsolicited advice and mentoring),” the post reads. “We wanted to focus on developers in a similar time zone to help with communication, games that feel sort of like SUPERHOT (puzzles, shooters), and with a corresponding artstyle.”
Superhot Team is not set out to do the roles of a publisher- funding, support and mentoring do not cover all the bases to be one.
So far, two indie titles are now part of Superhot Presents. The first is the Frog Detective series- a collection of wholesome investigation games by Grace Bruxner’s new studio “Worm Club”.
The other is RPG Knuckle Sandwich developed by Andrew Brophy. You play as a boy looking for work in a city. The game features a lot of different artstyles being mashed together, from 2D sprites to low-poly 3D models.
This should not affect the Superhot Team’s output, they reassured by the end of the post. “We’re still a game development company, we’re working hard on our own games, we just think putting some money back into the industry so more cool things can be made is a nice idea.”
