More about poetry. All the publishers are fighting to be the best version of a drug to sell to a market of genre addicted players. If you look at Game Developer Magazine's "Top 20 Publishers" article each year, you'll see these patterns over and over again. Publishers are the dominant force in our industry because you need someone who has multiple games on the market so that any one failed game won't tank the company. Publishers exist because the market bankrupted the alternatives. Publishers create a portfolio that is heavy with lower risk products that are guaranteed to sell a minimal amount. The reality is that many publishers would go out of business if it weren't for their investments in new genres and franchises. These genre busters ended up contributing massively to the economic success of the publishers that created them. Publishers will generally select a potential hit in a hot genre over a potential hit in a genre that is past its prime. Little publishers don't have much chance and it is very rare to see new publishers entering into the market. These factors lead towards a strong consolidation trend amongst publishers. Publishers buy out other weaker companies to gain access to their proven titles, brands, and development teams. Over time, the market entry barriers become more intense and there are fewer and fewer publishers in the mix. Publishers will take note and stop funding games in that genre. A few large publishers can generate this blast of great marketing.

In fact, some major publishers have perverted skeletons in their closet with Japanese 'hentai' releases. If the selection of titles at GLAY'z doesn't stroke your interest (and we're REALLY hoping that's the case for one of those titles in particular) but you are in the market for adult entertainment for play on your PSP, keep your fires burning -- this is likely the first of a slew of Japanese AV releases from various publishers sure to hit the system in due time. Two publishers will offer a total of eight movies specifically for the PSP.

Very soon, I believe, you'll have a shitload of my art to enjoy in new SMOKE project, which will be published on US market - The writer, Alex, did a good job in San Diego, negotiating with publishers. But , you can help me out - if you have possibilities to find out the adresses of italian publishers potentialy available for negotiations, and with the profile similar to french publishers, you can send them over. SMOKE is the project I would like to sell personaly to particular european publishers, including. As far as I know, all those publishers are buying one time publishing right for a few thousand bucks - none of them would pay me advances to support a making of this project. That is why I'm trying to make arrangements with the american publishers first, to be able to see it published quarterly and to have at least SOME financial support.
