It's very exciting to see more and more people discovering our games and becoming interested in physical releases, but even as awareness continues to expand, it can often still be challenging for indie studios to find ways to bring physical releases to mass retail. Companies such as Limited Run Games that specialize in smaller print runs and indie titles provide a lot of opportunities that otherwise might not be possible. They've also been great partners to work with, and have allowed us to release numerous games that we never imagined would see the light of day as physical releases! As their name indicates, Limited Run Games does not reprint any of its titles, but most of our releases through them are open preorders that allow anyone to order as many copies as they want during a set timeframe without worry of the product selling out, and they also ship virtually anywhere in the world. At this time we don't have any plans to re-release games under a different publisher, but we are always exploring various possibilities. And of course, thanks to digital distribution, most of our recent games will remain available as downloads for years to come!

We appreciate your enthusiasm, but for legal reasons, we can’t acknowledge any emails like this. If someone expresses and idea that, by coincidence, is already in a title we’re working on, or ends up in a future title, they could claim we used their idea, and want something in return. You saw that Facebook movie, right? Of course we know you won’t sue, but you never know about the next guy. You understand…

It’s an honor that so many people want us to take the reigns on so many great franchises, and we’d love to work with those IPs. But you should realize, any licensed IPs we work with; Contra, Aliens, BloodRayne, etc.; are not owned by us, and it’s up to publishers to hire us to make the product they want using their IPs. We can rarely pick and choose which IPs we want to make games from. So for example, if you want us to make the next Mega Man, Ducktales, Castlevania or Metroid title, you’d have to write to Capcom, Konami, or Nintendo. That being said, feel free to do just that; it might actually work!

We get A LOT of questions regarding things like game releases outside of the US, DLC, ports, and new iterations of old franchises. We’d love to answer all your questions, but that sort of stuff is completely up to a games’ publisher. Remember, most IPs we work with don’t belong to us.

As far as our own IPs, we are a currently a digital only publisher. If a game of ours is to be ported, we will let you know as soon as we can via our website and social media sites.

Supporting controllers on Steam is complicated!  There are a lot of different options on the market.

If you are still having issues or we haven’t updated the game to support your controller yet, you can add it by doing the following:

1. Open Steam, go into Big Picture Mode
2. Open Settings
3. Configure your controller bindings and finally
4. Boot up your game!

If you have a controller you would like to see added to a game, please contact support. We can’t promise all controllers will be added, but we can look into it for you via support!

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition contains the base game (Shantae: Half-Genie Hero), as well as the three DLC expansions (Pirate Queen's Quest, Friends to the End, and the Costume Pack, which includes Beach Mode, Officer Mode, and Ninja Mode). The Ultimate Edition also contains new outfit colors (Shantae's blue costume and Risky’s black costume) and Shantae’s Tinkerbat transformation, which cannot be obtained for the standard Shantae: Half-Genie Hero unless you backed the game during its crowdfunding period, plus it adds the all-new blue swimsuit for Shantae. Other modes and content are included in both the standard edition and the Ultimate Edition. However, the standard Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is considered a different product from Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition, so you cannot upgrade to the Ultimate Edition from the standard game, and they do not share save data.
