Who is GYLD?
GYLD is a new-generation agency helping video game developers on their quest to obtain better publishing and investment deals. We are a team of highly experienced agents, financial advisors, business analysts, game developers, producers, UX designers, project managers, and legal advisors.
Why did you start GYLD?
We believe the world needs great games. To make a great game, developers need money. To make a game successful, developers often need the help of a publisher.
But the world of publishing has a very steep learning curve, and developers have little access to affordable representation and business support to help them to navigate this field. Traditional agency and consultancy models are outdated, expensive, and, quite frankly, not very indie-friendly.
There are few industry standards across publishing contracts, territory-specific laws, IP acquisition trigger points, access to source code, recoupable vs non-recoupable costs - It’s a tall order for developers to understand the obligations and implications of these provisions, especially without spending thousands of dollars on legal advice.
We founded GYLD to address this. With diligent representation and expert knowledge, we equip developers with the tools and business support they need to party up for their venture ahead.
How much does GYLD cost?
To address the industry’s lack of affordable representation, GYLD specifically operates on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis.
Our model consists of two simple fees:1) We add a small percentage on top of the total funding amount that you’re seeking.2) Once your game releases, we share in a super tiny percentage of the game’s revenue for a limited period of time.
These fees only apply once we successfully get you funding - if we don’t get you a deal, then you don’t pay a cent! We pride ourselves on delivering a million dollar service, and work tirelessly to get you the best possible deal. Otherwise we don’t get paid.
