Antstream Arcade to include several indie titles

Antstream Arcade will open the doors for many indie developers to place their titles on the platform.

Announced today, a slew of indie games will make their way to Anstream Arcade, including Reshoot-R, Flea, Millie&Molly, Bug's Quest for Tapes, and Tanglewood. Developers will get a recurring share of revenue when their game is played on the platform.

Antstream Arcade CEO Steve Cottam said this about the partnership:

“At Antstream we’ve been inspired by the current wave of “new-retro” indie games. Developing games for old hardware is a labour of love, and we are thrilled the indie developer community is choosing Antstream’s unique platform and features to reach a rapidly growing international audience of retro and casual gamers. We count ourselves incredibly fortunate to be in a position where our technology directly benefit indie developers, and look forward to helping bring these inspiring games to our fans around the world.”

Project Neon developer Sascha Reuter of Fullset also chimed in:

“Developing a game for a classic console is not an easy feat. Having the game being put through its paces by real-world players, before you start producing and shipping a truckload of cartridges, can easily grow into an even bigger challenge. By partnering with Antstream though, we were able to organize a global playtesting session, without the hassle and risk usually involved by distributing test version ROMs. If you are developing for any classic system, this is the way forward!”

Bug's Quest for Tapes developer YellowBelly said this about working with Antstream Arcade:

"Working with Antstream has been amazing, they helped make my bedroom coder dream a reality with my CPC game. Not only is it the 1st Amstrad game on its platform it is now being played by gamers around the world. I’d like to actively encourage other devs like me to join in. If you have a game you have made, and want it to be played everywhere in the world, I can't recommend Antstream enough. The process is simple and the support given has been like having your own big team behind your game."
