Polytron starts publishing partnership

Phil Fish (who famously quit game development last year) has been explaining the new direction that's being taken by his studio Polytron, and it sounds remarkably like publishing, even if he doesn't want to call it that.

"Polytron has spent the last 2 years getting its affairs in order - wrapping up Fez and its six subsequent ports kept us busy for a while," Fish said on the Polytron website. "Now that that's done, and that we've had time to recharge, I'm super excited to finally close our first chapter and move on to the next one.

"We only got to make fez in the first place because of the help and support of a lot of cool people. Time to give back a little, you know? One word we're trying real hard to avoid is ‘publishing' because what does that even mean in 2014, really? Even saying it out loud feels wrong. ‘We're publishers! Look at us! Publishing!'. Naw. It's a partnership."

The first game to be part of this new partnership is called Paronamical. We'll let you know more when we have the details.
