Get your game on GameTap
GameTap, a subscription service where one can play an enormous amount of video games for a single subscription fee ($9.95 USD), recently announced a new program targeted directly at independent developers.
Called the GameTap Indies program, it enables an independent developer’s game to be featured and available on the GameTap service. This is a significant step in bringing independent developers into the industry proper.
GameTap’s service is built for success of independent games. GameTap acts as publisher and creates marketing materials for all of the new games added to the service — which take the form of short “commercial”-style videos at around 30 seconds each. These videos are played back at several points in the GameTap client and on the website. Since users don’t have to purchase games that are available on GameTap, more are likely to try independent titles.
As of writing, GameTap offers subscriptions at $9.95 USD per month with the first month priced at $0.99 USD.
