indiePub, a subsidiary of Zoo Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOG),
is proud to announce it is close to completing the development of
its unique, indies-only publishing platform called
indiePub.
By integrating e-commerce with social networking capabilities,
the new indiePub service will allow any
developer, consumer or content publisher to create an online Pub
where they can sell, share and market apps.
indiePub has been actively researching and
developing its service for more than a year, incorporating feedback
from frustrated indie developers who have been looking for a single
place where they can safely sell and distribute their games across
multiple devices. The result is indiePub's
unique distributed delivery system with integrated social
networking technologies that will provide a cohesive,
cross-platform application delivery service.
"We were asked by numerous independent game developers to create
a 'Steam for indies,'" said David Reynolds, indiePub's VP of
Gaming. "The new indiePub marketplace will
give indie developers a way to tap into the growing multi-billion
dollar digital download market and make money with their games by
combining innovative crowd-sourced marketing with unique
developer-controlled distribution tools. Instead of a site telling
them how, when and for how much to sell their games, indiePub will enable publishers to independently
control these without limiting distribution to only one or two
platforms. We're working to make indiePub run on any device that
can download apps."
Thanks to a proprietary API and digital rights management (DRM)
wrapper, almost any digitally distributable game -- including iOS,
Android, Windows-PC, Macintosh and Flash -- can be a part of
indiePub.
The heart of indiePub will be its
community of developers, Pub owners and consumers who will converge
through traditional and social mechanisms to discus, rate,
recommend, share and distribute apps. Anyone will be able to open a
Pub and, using their favorite social networking services (including
Facebook, Twitter, blogs and websites), begin making money.
The indiePub service will be available to
everyone beginning Q4 2011.
indiePub is now accepting Beta Test
applications for game developers. Beta test developers will help
test the site and have their games ready for market when the
service launches. To get involved with the Beta, please sign up at
