Publishing services
Four areas of work, offered together or separately. Some studios want the whole package from announcement to post-launch; others want certification support on a game they have already funded and marketed themselves. Both are agreements we sign.
Deal shapes
You have funded the project or do not need production budget. We handle release management, platform certification, marketing and the launch, and we recoup our costs and share from the title's revenue on the terms in the agreement.
The project needs production budget to reach the bar it deserves. We co-finance against agreed milestones and publish the finished title, recouping from revenue on disclosed terms. The intellectual property stays with the studio.
We do not publish a funding figure. No ceiling, no per-title band, no "up to" number. Any figure quoted before reading a production plan is meaningless, and a number on a website is a promise a studio will reasonably hold us to. Budget is scoped against your plan and agreed in writing.
01 · Game publishing
A publishing agreement puts the release logistics on us so the studio can keep building. We take the title through store onboarding, age-rating applications, build and patch pipelines, submission scheduling and the launch-day checklist — and we do it against each platform's own requirements rather than a generic template.
Platform availability for any individual title depends on that platform holder's own approval. We prepare and submit; the platform decides.
02 · Production co-financing
Where a project needs production budget to reach the quality bar it deserves, we co-finance it. The money is paid against agreed milestones, the milestones are written with the studio rather than handed to it, and the studio keeps making the game it pitched. The arrangement is a publishing agreement — not an investment product.
See how co-financing works for the full legal characterisation.
Production co-financing from CMB Project is a commercial publishing agreement funded from the company's own resources and recouped from the revenue of the released title. It is not a loan, a deposit, a security, an investment product, a public offering or financial advice, and it gives the developer no financial return other than the revenue share written into the agreement.
03 · Marketing and PR
Marketing starts long before the launch trailer. We plan the beat sheet from announcement to launch and beyond, produce the assets each beat needs, and run the outreach — press, creators, storefront festivals and events — against a calendar the studio can actually build to.
Coverage, wishlists and sales depend on the game, the market and the press. We commit to the work and the plan, not to a number.
04 · Localisation and QA
The last mile before certification is where most indie launches lose weeks. We run it as a process: string extraction and translation, linguistic QA in context, functional and compliance passes against each platform's technical requirement checklist, then submission support until the title passes.
Certification is decided by the platform holder. Our job is to make a failure unlikely and a resubmission fast.
Platform support
These are the storefronts and console ecosystems we prepare titles for and submit to. Being able to submit is not the same as being able to promise approval: every platform holder decides for itself whether a given title is accepted.
Store onboarding, depots and branches, wishlist and demo campaigns, festival submissions.
Product setup, build submission and store page management.
Concept and product setup, TRC compliance passes, certification submission and resubmission.
Partner Center setup, XR compliance passes, certification submission and resubmission.
Product setup, lotcheck preparation, submission and resubmission support.
Trademarks and endorsement. Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch are trademarks of their respective owners. Listing them describes the release and certification workflows CMB Project supports. It does not state or imply that any platform holder endorses, sponsors, certifies or is affiliated with CMB Project, and it is not a claim of partner or developer status with any of them.
How co-financing works
Production co-financing from CMB Project is a commercial publishing agreement funded from the company's own resources and recouped from the revenue of the released title. It is not a loan, a deposit, a security, an investment product, a public offering or financial advice, and it gives the developer no financial return other than the revenue share written into the agreement.
We say this plainly because the word "funding" means something specific in financial regulation, and what we do is not it. Nothing on this site is an offer of securities, a deposit-taking activity, a credit product, a collective investment or financial advice, and nothing here is addressed to investors.
We never ask a developer for money. There is no submission fee, no review fee, no "listing" fee and no paid fast-track. If anyone contacts you asking for payment in the name of CMB Project, it is not us — write to help@cmbproject.com.
Scope
This list is part of our Terms of Service, not a marketing position. A project built on any of these is outside what this company does, regardless of how good it is.
If you are unsure whether a monetisation design falls inside or outside the line, describe it in the submission form and ask. We would rather answer the question than receive the pitch.
Sequence
You pitch. We read it properly.
Scope, milestones and money, in writing, before anyone signs.
You make the game. We clear the road in front of it.
Ship it, then keep working it.
Questions
No. Co-financing is one option, not a condition. If a project is already funded and needs release management, marketing or certification support, that is a publishing-only agreement and it is a normal thing for us to sign.
We do not publish a figure, a ceiling or a per-title band, because any number quoted before reading a production plan is meaningless. Budget is scoped against the plan and agreed in writing before anything is transferred.
We prepare and submit for PC storefronts and the major consoles. Availability for any individual title is decided by that platform holder, not by us — being able to submit is not the same as being able to promise approval.
Real-money gambling and simulated gambling with real-world value, loot boxes and paid randomised rewards, pay-to-win progression, crypto, token, NFT and play-to-earn mechanics, and anything whose rights chain we cannot trace. The full list is on this page and in our Terms of Service.
