Funsta.co.uk is Codemaster's new casual gaming wing. This is what they have to say which sounds quite promising.

after haveing sent out emails to probably ~15 of german casual game publishers who actually have some games in the store i can tell you the following:

(just for your information, iam trying to get a publisher for my game utz wollewutz, wich is compared to other casual games out there not that bad in my mind)

-most of them dont even respond
-like 2-3 respond and say "no thanks it doesnt fit our portfolio"
-if you phone them and ask again after like 1 week, most of them say "yes we will look into this later, you hear from us" or you dont even get the phone number of the person responsible and some telephone lady wont put you through

the conclusion is that casual games market is flooded with cheap, cheaper, cheapest low quality stuff and its not worth for publishers anymore to market a game.
publishers get flooded with crap so they dont take time to respond anymore.

in germany you will get real good games 1year old for 5-10€ you cant even if you buy them all play them all. why should anyone buy a casual game if he gets a full game for the same price?


also this list here is pretty old and dont even think about contacting the big boys on this list unless your game can compete with farcry 2.

maybe we should work on a new list of indiepublishers and portals.
ill supply you soon with a little list i made, hope someone can contribute some portal contact emails?

This list wasn't made with casual games in mind. Casual games normally are sold purely over the internet. You hardly ever see them end in a box on a shelf. There have been other valuable links to a lot of portals in a more recent thread.

Which ones?

You always have a small chance, that is, if they are willing to take a look at it. Having 15 publishers say no really is nothing compared to my experience. It's not easy and it takes time, it also depends a lot on how you present your game. If you link to a website in a email, make sure it looks pro, all sorts of things can prevent a publisher from saying 'okey we'll do it'.

The sad part is that the first and foremost criterea these days is becoming
graphics qaulity and by graphics quality I mean that your game should have
good sketched art and not 'programmer" art..the other thing is that you should have a game that the publisher was kind of looking for...Years back I got lucky
because one pubpisher was looking for mass market low budget games and they accepted the game..
I know of a professional project that has taken 6 years of development in A5..
its an extremely professional and uniqye project with movie quality voice acting
but since it started 6 years back so they were the A5 days and now the game looks outdated because of lack of shaders etc..consequently,most of the publishers rejected the game just after the screnshots and trailer...this sounds depressing indeed,so these days I think its the wisest thing to invest in game art if you plan to sell your game !

i contacted ea about whether or not they would publish a game of mine and the reply i got said "we appreciate your intrest but due to company policy we do not accept games from third parties".

they dont accept from 3rd parties so they should be taken off the list
