Tom Ohle, a PR representative at Evolve PR who used to work at Bioware, and Khalid Ibrahimi (cinematic producer and director on Killzone 3/innovation officer at Cannibal Games/partner at Interceptor Entertainment), have started a new indie publisher called Rebel Machine. The mission is to help indie developers promote and publish without taking all of their money necessarily.
"Rebel Machine is an engine for progress. As the industry matures and expands, we work to help independent game developers break through the noise to reach an audience of passionate gamers and achieve long-term success. We understand the importance of independence, we understand the value of individuality, and we understand the power of collective creativity. Change is coming. And it begins here.
That sounded nice and inspiring, didn't it? Are you not entertained? Oh... you want more actual info? Fine then!
Rebel Machine is a new video game publisher formed focused on helping indie devs succeed. Whether you need help in promotion, production or on the business side, we can help. You get expert help, and we'll partner with you on flexible business deals that keep most of the money in your pocket. Not bad."
No projects have been announced from Rebel Machine, but given the ties its founders have in the industry we expect some to surface soon. And Rebel Machine are also actively looking for projects. Here's a link to the company website if you feel the need to learn more.
