There is no guaranteed solutions, but after looking into several successful cases we&#8217;ve come to a list of do&#8217;s and dont&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of &#8211; what do publishers look for most of the times &#8211; is it a good game? Yes and No. A game doesn&#8217;t have to be best of the best but rather good enough to attract attention. Let&#8217;s see <strong>what makes a good profile for a game<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Polish your Game presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Logo<\/strong> &#8211; first thing a publisher see. It has to be good looking. One could ask can you make a game if you cannot make a good logo? You are trying to sell your game to a publisher. Spend some time on a logo.<\/li><li><strong>Short description<\/strong> &#8211; one, two sentence description of your game. Try to focus on information and not on emotions. Good example: &#8220;Fantasy Tower defense with Match3 elements. 60 levels&#8221; or &#8220;Endless runner with hilarious political characters&#8221;. Not so good: &#8220;Minimalist. Atmospheric. Challenging.&#8221; or &#8220;Shoot&#8217;em all and win!. Remember that your audience is Publishers, not gamers.<\/li><li><strong>Gameplay Video<\/strong> &#8211; very important. If you have a gameplay &#8211; add it. Publishers tend to watch videos rather than read descriptions or click through screen shots.<\/li><li><strong>Game metrics<\/strong> &#8211; if you can test your game &#8211; do it. Good game metrics is almost a guarantee that a publisher will connect with you. If you have metrics for your game &#8211; it means that you are already an advanced studio, which increases chances of success for a publisher. What metrics? Depends on a platform and genre, but here are common: Day 1, Day 7, Day 10, Day 30 retention, CPI, Average daily playtime.<\/li><li><strong>Good studio profile<\/strong> &#8211; Publisher is choosing not a game, but a team, which will deliver more good games for them. It is very important to present your team and show your experience and capability to deliver a game. Add team members and add already developed games. This will make publishers fight for you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Campero Games Case Study<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
