PUBLISH YOUR GAME ON STEAM. KEEP YOUR SOUL.
The indie Steam publisher that actually gives a damn about developers. No corporate BS. No sneaky clauses. Just fair deals and aggressive marketing for your Steam game.
COMPANIES WE WORK WITH
Trusted partners in the indie game space.
YOUR INDIE STEAM PUBLISHER
Not your typical corporate Steam publisher. We're rebels with a track record.
Built by a Developer, For Developers
I'm Piotr Karbowski. I spent years working with PlayWay, helped build companies like Rockgame, Games Incubator and more. Turned around CreativeForge Games as CEO during its darkest hour—improving its financial situation 10-fold.
But I got tired of the cash-grab approach. The corporate BS. The way big publishers treat developers like disposable assets.
So I started Mad Octopus to do things differently. Because I'm a designer myself, I understand what you're going through. And I can help in ways traditional publishers can't.
My Philosophy
This is YOUR game. You decide the terms, not me. Some deals start at 10% after 1,000 copies. Others at 15% after 50,000 copies. Every situation is different, and I adapt to what makes sense for you.
I'm not here to own your game or control your vision. I'm here to help you sell it. Marketing, porting to consoles, design feedback—whatever you need. I only succeed when you succeed, so I'm taking the risk with you.
Let's talk. No corporate bullshit. Just two people who want to make great games succeed.
