TitleScreen (BETA) is an online video game hosting platform where Developers have a place to promote their games to Publishers, and Publishers have the tools to search through them and contact the Developers.
TitleScreen (BETA) is designed to be a personalized approach to discover games for publishing. Publishers can:
  • Discover games to FUND and invest
  • Discover games to PUBLISH worldwide
  • Discover games to DISTRIBUTE REGIONALLY
  • Discover games to release PHYSICAL EDITIONS
  • Discover games to RE-PUBLISH or BUY OUT
  • Discover games to PORT to new platforms
Signing Up is easy.
Go to the Sign Up page and fill in the information.
You will receive a confirmation email that includes an activation link. Click on that link and you are done.
You can now Log In using your email and password.
Free. Anyone can Sign Up at no cost. Users have access to Game Pages listed on the platform for free.
No, anyone can Sign Up. At TitleScreen (BETA), our viewpoint is that anyone is a potential investor of independent games. In fact, we encourage users to consider investing in independent game development!
TitleScreen (BETA) works similar to an online dating app. After you Log In, a "Game Page" will be displayed. You can then choose to "Favorite" the game or you can choose to "Pass" on the game.

When you "Favorite" a Game Page, that Game Page is added to your "My Favorites" menu. You can then contact the Developer at your convenience.
We leave it up to the Developer to decide what to display. Each Game Page requires at least:
  • Text Header - a text header describing the game
  • Game Description - users can add text, images, and even GIFs
  • (1) Key Art
  • (3) Art samples, which may include screenshots, concept art, models, or anything the Developer would like to display
Also, in the "Additional Materials" section, Developers can add links to documents such as game presentations, builds, art samples, and more.

Developers can also display basic details about their games in a standard format provided by TitleScreen (BETA), such as Genre, Platforms, Engine, and more. This is to improve Search functionality for other Users.
Games can be listed at any point in their development. This includes concepts, prototypes, demos, vertical slice, Alpha, Beta, certified, and even released games.

The benefit to posting early is that Developers can receive helpful feedback from industry insiders.
Many Developers are seeking new partnership and revenue opportunities for their completed or released games to extend the life of their game, such as:
  • Regional Distribution: releasing your game in specialized markets such as Japan or China.
  • Physical Distribution: releasing your game in a physical format in any territory.
  • Porting: porting your game on new Platforms.
  • Re-Publishing: re-launching a game in the market with new marketing beats and a new partner.
  • Game Buyout: identifying a Publisher to take over ongoing publishing and/or development responsibilities.
  • Media Coverage: seeking journalists, influencers, and bloggers to cover your game.
  • Build Review: seeking play tests on your build from industry insiders.
  • Platform Extension: interest in releasing games on gated platforms (Apple Arcade, Netflix, Luna, etc.).
  • Studio Investment: interest in securing investment for your studio.
When a Developer sets up a Game Page, they can select the kind of Partnerships they are interested in. Developers may seek all or some of the following:
  • Project Funding
  • WW Publishing
  • PR & Marketing
  • Shadow Publishing
  • Platform Featuring
  • Studio Investment
  • Porting
  • Re-Publishing
  • Game Buyout
  • IP Sale
  • Regional Digital Distribution
  • Physical Distribution
  • And more!
Once you "Favorite" a Game Page, you can easily write a message to the Developer.
No, a Developer cannot initiate contact. The Developer can respond once a User adds a game to their Favorites and sends a message to the Developer.
When you Sign Up, you will create a User Name, not your real name. Any communication you make on TitleScreen will display your User Name.
USD$49.99 per year, per published project, paid by the Developer. If you publish one game, the fee is USD$49.99 per year. If you publish a second game, you pay an additional USD$49.99 per year for that one. Users do not pay a fee to view listings.

Creating, saving, and editing a Game Page is always free. Payment is only required to make a Game Page publicly visible in Discover, Advanced Search, and on your company profile. An unpaid Game Page stays in your account indefinitely, exactly as you left it.

A preview of your Game Page is displayed before you enter payment information - please review it before paying. TitleScreen (BETA) uses Stripe, Inc. for payment processing; we never see or store your card details.

This is an annual subscription per project and it renews automatically each year, so your Game Page does not disappear unless you choose to stop it. You can turn off auto-renewal at any time from the Billing page. Payment will be converted to your local currency during the payment process. Fees are subject to change.
Whenever you want it to go public. After you have created the Game Page, you will preview and confirm it, and can then proceed to payment.

You are not required to pay at that moment. If you skip payment, your Game Page is saved and you can pay later from the My Projects page - just click "Proceed to Placement" on the project you want to publish. Until it is paid, the Game Page is marked "Not Published" and is visible only to you.
No. You can use all current features on TitleScreen (BETA) free of charge, including Favorites, Sharing, Messaging Developers, Creating a Profile, and creating and editing your Game Pages.

The annual listing fee is the only charge, and it applies only to Game Pages you choose to publish publicly. There are no setup fees, no per-message fees, and no charge for viewing or contacting Developers.

TitleScreen LLC generates income from the annual fee paid when a Developer publishes their Game Page.
Each payment keeps your Game Page live for 12 months, and it renews automatically every year so it stays up without you having to do anything.

You can turn off auto-renewal at any time from the Billing page. If you do, your Game Page stays visible until the end of the period you already paid for - you do not lose the time you purchased - and it simply stops appearing after that date.

Your project and all of its data are never deleted when a listing expires. It returns to "Not Published" in your account and you can publish it again whenever you want.

The renewal date for each project is shown on your Billing page, and we notify you in the app if a Game Page is about to expire without renewing. Fees are subject to change.
Yes! And we encourage you to do so. We encourage updating your Game Page with the latest art, features, and builds.
