Bit of a random post, but it might be of interest to the Ahwoo team.
In a reddit AMA for the upcoming real time strategy game ZeroSpace, the lead dev and CEO mentioned that timelines for the game had slipped due to the studio's difficulties finding a publisher. Given that the game is being developed by a lean indie team, it got me wondering if there could be some good collaboration between Ahwoo, RocketWerkz, and Starlance Studios.
Rocketwerkz has experience supporting multiplayer titles on Steam, so the studio could have useful insights on how to market and sustain Steam sales. The dev also mentioned how their use of the Steam backend for multiplayer makes it hard for them to do cool things like having crossplay between a free demo and a paid title on Steam, so Rocketwerkz experience rolling their own network solutions could come in handy here.
As for Ahwoo, it could potentially be very valuable for Starlance to have a secondary source of funding in exchange for special roles on forums, cosmetics, or other perks. Ahwoo could even help distribute a demo for ZeroSpace to allow for full crossplay once the full game releases, or help distribute the game in parallel to Steam.
I shared the idea with the dev with the claim that Ahwoo would be soft-launching on Oct. 31 (sorry @Terra Incognita if this turns out to be wrong!) and the dev seemed interested. If the public page ends up fitting what the dev is looking for, expect to see an inquiry from him.
