I'm at Gamescom next month! Will be there from Wednesday 26th until Friday 28th If you're after self-publishing support (particularly for VR games), want to discuss publishing (flatscreen or hybrid only) for your game or just catch up, let's chat! DM me here or email henry@futurefriendsgames.com.

The #CanadianGP was one for the books - don't think anyone could've called that Podium before it. Great to see Lewis and Max celebrate Kimi, wasn't the most faultless drive but think in race he had the measure of George.

Never been a fan of Lando but man you could hear the emotion in that radio. Congrats to him, Max made it an exciting battle and shows you can never count him out. Can’t wait for the next season, hopefully one that allows closer racing and in my usual Tifosi way, is a good season for Ferrari! #F1

I love games that surprise you with their writing and I really enjoyed playing (and writing about) Pitchforks and Daggers. If you like choice based games like Yes, Your Grace, Paper's Please, etc - you'll be right at home on your throne!

Pitchforks and Daggers is a great example of an #indiegame that makes you check it out because of it's simple concept, but the writing pulls you in to stay through your multiple playthroughs! It comes out November 19th on PC! #gamenews #review #gaming www.gudshiz.com/featured/pit...

Not a Lando fan, far from it (pretty sure I've mentioned that) but, it's never nice to have your championship be derailed due to mechanical faults. I should know. Ferrari fan circa 2008 Hungarian GP. You still did amazing Felipe, and we love you for it! #Tifosi ##DutchGP #NetherlandsGP #F1

🎮 We’re heading to #ChinaJoy! Agora Gaming Partners will be in Shanghai with Lili Zhang, Tidus Wong & @pontusmahler.bsky.social Let’s talk publishing, funding, or your pitch. Can’t attend? Send your game to 📩 scouting@agoragamingpartners.com #gamedev #indiedev #gamebusiness
🎮 Agora Gaming Partners is heading to ChinaJoy!

We’ll be in Shanghai for one of the largest and most influential games industry events in Asia - and we’re bringing a full team:
👉 Lili Zhang
👉 Tidus Wong
👉 Pontus Mahler

We’ll be on the ground for the full duration of the event - so if you're working on something and want to connect, drop us a message, tag us, or book a time to chat. Whether you're looking for publishing, funding, or feedback, we're happy to talk.

We’re genuinely excited to be back. The Chinese game development scene continues to impress - full of creative talent, growing support, and global ambition.

The Chinese market remains impossible to ignore. Steam’s largest language group is now Chinese, reflecting the explosive growth of the local player base. PC gaming spend has surged by 60% year-on-year, and China now accounts for nearly 30% of global gaming revenues. On top of that, government support is ramping up again - with approval processes back on track and public funding flowing into the ecosystem.

Not attending but still want to share your game or pitch?
📩 You can always reach us at scouting@agoragamingpartners.com

See you in Shanghai 👋

Loved the demo when I checked it out before and as soon as I’m back home I’m checking it out and leaving a review. It’s one of the few games that was mindful of putting the default volume to NOT be 100%, which is extreme appreciated! Mighty fun too so that helped!

OK I'll jump into the discourse lol: Starting your own publication might mean starting your own business, especially if there's more than one of you. It's unlikely you decided to do this because you wanted to start a business! Do you know how to run a business? I sure didn't until October 2023!

50 years on from JAWS' release - we still aren't safe from Sharks! It was awesome to work with Alice Games on the reveal of #SharkDentist & bring the news to leading gaming media outlets across the world with Loopr! "Oh, what sharp teeth you have!" - Shark Dentist, probably.

Cannot stress how true this is. I've had so many examples but will give just one here. I liked playing F1 games and designing liveries when I was in school, downloaded a software (quite unknown at the time) called GIMP. A free alternative to photoshop to design the liveries. (contd)
