Publishing and Private Investments for Indie Games

We have built a better bridge between art and commerce, where game developers and investors who help to enable them are respected equally and both are protected and served by our management team. With our proprietary model and experience, we consistently achieve success in both financial and experiential terms, helping indies work towards financial independence without compromising their vision, and helping ensure that new games investors are fairly rewarded for their trust and support. Our track record speaks for itself.

Our record so far (publishing as Gambitious):

18 games signed, funded, produced and released on 8 different digital platforms.

PC, iOS, Android, Mac, XB1, PS4, Sony Vita, Linux)

5 more are in currently in progress to release as Good Shepherd Entertainment

12 of the game released attained profitability within the first year of release, and many of those within the first few months. Our first title released has achieved more than 200% return thus far, with two more years to go for profit sharing with investors.

artist-first relationships:

We dual-spec as both artists and business people, and we believe strongly that the best way to do consistently good business in this space is to trust and respect the game creators enough to defer to them in all matters of creative control, including marketing and public relations work, and to keep the IP ownership in the hands of the artists that created it. We also believe that the developers and their projects should always be promoted and credited ahead of their publisher. We want developers to be strong and to continue to work with us because we are the best choice of publishing partners, not because of any position of weakness or obligation.

About Good Shepherd

Founded by a global network of experienced publishing professionals who have been successful working with indies for more than two decades, we know well how to produce and nimbly publish indie games. We also seek out and recruit artists, writers, musicians, and creative powerhouses from other arenas to provide robust network connections for our developers to produce their very best work to ensure financially sound, and most importantly, original and fun contributions to the gaming space.

As both game fans and experienced games investors ourselves, we invest in every single title alongside any new investors we invite to our network, and we get the same deal terms as they do. We consider ourselves Good Shepherds not only of these projects, but of people’s investment dollars when they choose to trust us and support independent art with their hard-earned money.

EVERY project gets fully financed and produced. EVERY project receives our special attention as we promote, test, localize and release it to the global market. As a developer, we will help shepherd your project toward success to achieve your dreams while our investors are ensured a return for their faith and generosity. We put our money and our reputation behind every project, personally, for a collective win.
