DiscreetFX GameShop allows Amiga/Amiga OS 4.0/MorphOS & AROS game developers to focus on what their good at, developing a great game. Game Shop takes care of everything else, free web hosting, marketing, promotion, packaging and shipping. Free toll free number for sales and support, free downloads of demo versions of the game and works in progress from the GameShop web site.
In these sometimes troubled economic times GameShop fulfills a much needed requirement in this small but regrowing community. It gives new, small, resource hungry game developers a place to publish and host their games. Not all games that are submitted will make the cut but the ones that make it will have a lot less to worry about and can focus on making the best game possible. In the past the Amiga launched the careers of many great game developers. Bullfrog, Core Design & EA just to name a few. With GameShop we hope to spark some new careers for new game developers.
Today's game industry is rift with old worn out ideas that have be rehashed time and time again, have you played too many FPS or RTS games? With GameShop we are hoping to nurture new game developers with fresh ideas for the gaming industry. Now being broke does not mean your great game idea will not be published.
2004 should be a banner year for Amiga & Amiga compatible systems. All those new customers will need relaxing and entertaining games on their systems. And new game authors need free web hosting and low cost no nonsense publishing terms to get their titles available to that user base.

This sounds absolutely great! In fact, some
discussions in the same direction were held on AW
some months back about a very similar thing. Good
to see someone actually getting their hands dirty
and making the effort.
The idea to remove some stress from the developers
is a nice one - probably a cruicial one. Hopefully
this is a step on the road towards increasing the
incentive for the new generation of bedroom-coders
to get down coding new applications (games in this
case) for the Amiga(ish) platforms(s).
That it is non-exclusive to all the involved
"fractions" of our little world is also good and
should help rally more support behind this
initative.
