    As someone who works in publishing, I wish you the best. There's so many excellent games we end up not funding because it's not "company policy" or not "profitable". I hope some of those end up seeing the light of day regardless of the label, so seeing a new player in the indie publishing scene makes me hopeful
    Good luck Dunkey ! Hopefully you have surrounded yourself with people that can support you in this endeavour.

      Dunkey reccomended Freedom Planet on twitter when Sonic Mania got delayed on PC as a means of compensation (needless to say its very Sonic like but with more emphasis on combat). That came out in 2014. Freedom Planet 2 came out 2 months ago and its arguably better than the first game. I'm bringing this up cause Freedom Planet as a whole is VERY underrated...like omg the physics and art have so much work put into them! It was basically Sonic Mania before Sonic Mania was a thing! That and it technically has the dunkey seal of approval (not enough to make it into a video but still) so you should at least see if its your thing if this comment got your interest! lol :P

    I love hearing stories about how Devolver Digital were just a handful of people working from home mostly getting to know developers remotely while having no offfices or corporate bs to worry about. Dunkey has social media presence and a platform to advertise games through already, I sincerely hope this works out well since it will feel a hell of a lot better for someone who knows games over the usual AAA publisher that only know business and couldn't care less if the game were good as long as it makes money.

    Can't wait to see where this goes! Definitely trust Dunkey's passion for video games and commitment to quality. I think the biggest challenge will be learning how to distance himself as a publisher from his own personal preferences; being able to judge when he won't like a game, but see that it'll be that "something special" for a lot of other people, or vice versa.
    I agree with Charlie that a lot will hinge on the 1st game Bigmode publishes, but I think its other greatest test would be to publish a JRPG-style game at some point. This would let him send a message of what most JRPGs are doing wrong by show people what one done "right" can be, as well as win over the demographic that's currently his biggest detractors.
