KeokeN Interactive says it has not been able to land a publisher deal in over 200 conversations in two years.
The development studio KeokeN Interactive, known, among other things, for Deliver Us The Moon, presented five projects in a video that they “urgently” want to show to publishers in order to get a deal.
This measure was born out of desperation after discussions with more than 40 publishers still failed to achieve any tangible success. The developer is now turning to the community and hopes for a more positive outcome.
Three of the five prototypes take place in the Deliver Us universe and are direct continuations or spin-offs of the series. Also introduced was We Are Human, a philosophical action-adventure that focuses primarily on travel and fighting. The last title, Expeditions, is a co-op top-down shooter that is supposed to be based on the Soulslike formula in terms of difficulty and boss design.
“After pitching these 5 games over 200 times to 40+ publishers, it was time to leverage our greatest strength: our community and network,” say KeokeN Interactive co-founders Koen and Paul Deetman.
“It’s our last resort. We will not go down without a fight, and what better way than to fight with everything we have created. Our entire team has put their heart and dedication into these games. The scale and diversity of these games are not the result of a lack of focus or vision.”
“It is a testament to our adaptability and how hard we have strived to make it despite the ever-changing winds and exceptionally tough times in the industry. More than anything, we love making games and want to keep doing it.”
The company is looking for a publisher for the following games:
- We Are Human, a philosophical thriller that focuses on combat and movement. PC & Console
- Deliver Us Home, a lonely astronaut experience about the search for home. PC & Console
- Deliver Us The Moon: Huygens, a disturbing survival experience that takes place during the Blackout. PC & Console
- Deliver Us VR, an immersive astronaut experience that takes you back to the moon.
- Expeditions, a Co-op Souls-like top-down shooter with a rich narrative set on Pangea Proxima. PC & Console.
