About Us
Shedworks was born from experience.
After facing the challenges of self-publishing firsthand as independent developers, we realized something that isn’t often discussed openly: launching a game alone is not just difficult — it’s often inefficient. Throughout this journey, we tested tools, strategies, and different approaches, gaining valuable insights into what truly makes an impact.
One of the key takeaways was simple, yet powerful: many essential tools for marketing and launching games come with high individual costs, but can be shared across multiple projects without significantly increasing investment. This revealed a clear opportunity — to build a collaborative structure that benefits several developers at once. But that wasn’t all.
By participating in industry events — as business attendees, exhibitors, and speakers — another challenge became evident: B2C returns for indie games are uncertain and difficult to measure. For many developers, investing in events can feel more like a gamble than a strategic decision. At the same time, these environments offer real opportunities when approached in a structured and collaborative way.
That’s where SHEDWORKS took shape.
What We Do
We are a publisher focused on collaboration, strategy, and accessibility.
Our goal is to support indie games that haven’t secured their “dream publisher,” but are looking for practical ways to increase visibility, professionalize their launch, and improve their results.
We offer:
- Outreach and global visibility: Access and campaign management on platforms like Keymailer and Lurkit, connecting your game with content creators and global press.
- Press Releases: We help with directions for production and distribution of strategic press materials to expand your project’s reach.
- Simplified strategic consulting: We share real-world industry learnings, helping you structure the essential elements for a stronger, more effective launch — without unnecessary complexity.
- Collective presence at events: We leverage the power of collaboration to reduce risks and expand opportunities at trade shows, business meetings, and exhibitions.
Our Mission
We believe talent shouldn’t be limited by lack of access.
Shedworks exists to build bridges, connecting Brazilian developers to the global market, and bringing the world closer to the creativity coming out of Brazil. More than publishing games, we aim to unlock opportunities.
