If you're not a commercial or triple-AAA developer at a major publisher or studio, the question of where to publish your game, and why, is one you'll have to answer eventually. And with how fast some of these platforms come and go, it can be tough even to know where to begin. Continuing with our series of resources for indie devs, single developers, and small teams, we took a look at the landscape of small and self-publishing platforms, coming up with a list of five of the best places to publish your indie game, from tried and true DIY resources like Itch.io to established powerhouses like Humble Bundle and the Epic Games store.

Check it out over at Game Developer.

The hugest of hat tips to my colleague Holly Green for doing the research and the TikTok for this one, which I based the article on. Holly is THE VERY BEST and also curates our Cohost here.

in reply to @danielleri's post:

it might have changed since the last time I paid attention to it, but I think GameJolt has a fairly strict "no adult content (meaning porn games)" policy.

Also as a more general thing, a bit more information about each platform's selection criteria might've been nice, because most of them are not really accessible for folks who operate on very small budgets.

Honestly, thank you for your comments! This was a bit of an experiment in taking a shorter resource (the TikTok linked in the piece) and fleshing it out a bit, and your feedback is well-taken -- I can add much more about the reasoning behind selections as I go forth with these, and definitely find out re: Game Jolt. I want these pieces to be useful to folks, so I appreciate the comments and suggestions here.
