How to submit your game to Nuntius Games

If you are a Brazilian indie studio (or one from anywhere else in the world) looking for a publisher to get your game off the ground, this guide explains how submitting a project to Nuntius Games works: what to prepare beforehand, what to put in the pitch, and what usually weighs most in the first assessment.

What a game publisher does

Before sending your project, it is worth understanding what a studio is actually asking for when it looks for a publisher. At Nuntius Games the work revolves around four fronts: porting (bringing the game to consoles such as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox), publishing (the whole process of releasing and maintaining the game on digital stores), marketing and public relations (outreach, press, wishlist campaigns) and QA (quality assurance before launch). A studio may look for a publisher for any one of those reasons on its own, or for all four together — you do not need the game finished on PC, nor to have decided which consoles it will come out on.

Before you send your game

A pitch travels further when the game already shows its identity, even if it is still in production. What tends to make a difference:

• A playable build, even a short one. A design document matters, but playing (or watching someone play) the core of the experience counts for more than any description.
• A trailer or gameplay GIF, even a simple one. It is the fastest way to communicate what the game is.
• Clarity about genre and market comparison — which games yours resembles, and what it does differently.
• A sense of scope: how much of the game already exists, what is left, and an estimate (even a rough one) of when you plan to launch.

None of these needs to be perfect. The goal of first contact is to show direction, not to deliver a finished product.

What to put in your pitch

A lean pitch deck tends to be more effective than a long document. A structure that works well for most studios:

The idea in one sentence

A short summary of what the game is and why it is interesting — the kind of sentence you would use to describe it to someone in a corridor at an event.

The game loop

What the player does, minute to minute. Video or GIFs are worth more than text here.

References and what sets it apart

Which games yours resembles (this helps position the audience), and what makes yours stand out within that space.

Target platforms

Whether the plan is to launch on PC via Steam only, or whether there is already an intention to bring the game to consoles. This does not have to be decided, but it helps to understand what kind of support makes sense.

Team and track record

Who is on the project, and whether you have released anything before (having shipped a game is not required — many studios send their first production).

The ask

Say clearly what you are looking for: publishing only, porting only, marketing support, or a combination. A pitch without a clear ask is harder to assess.

How to send it

The most direct route is the pitch form at the bottom of this page, which already asks for the main fields (studio, contact, message and, if you have them, links to a build and trailer). You can also write directly to pitch@nuntiusgames.com.

On the build format: it does not matter. A direct download link, a Steam Playtest key, a page on itch.io — send it whichever way is easiest for you.

What really weighs is having video. A trailer, a recorded gameplay session, even thirty seconds of screen: that is what can be watched right away, and it decides whether the rest gets opened. A pitch with video and no build usually gets assessed faster than a pitch with a build and no video.

What to avoid

• Sending only a design document, with no visual or playable material. It is the most common way for a good pitch to go unnoticed.
• Generic messages, identical to those sent to dozens of other publishers at the same time, with no mention of the catalogue or the profile of the company receiving it.
• Huge email attachments. Prefer links (Google Drive, Steam, itch.io) to heavy attached files.
• Not making the ask clear. Porting help is different from full publishing, which is different from marketing alone — the clearer the ask, the faster the answer.

After you send it

Every pitch received goes through an internal assessment, weighing the game's stage, the fit with the current catalogue and the production capacity available. If it moves forward, the next step usually involves a direct conversation with the team, aligning expectations and, eventually, the partnership proposal — described in more detail in the guide on the publishing process.

This usually happens within a few days. The assessment does not turn into a months-long process: the team looks at what arrived and replies — including when the answer is no.
