Indonesian game studio Toge Productions today announced its expansion into game publishing industry with the announcement of six new game titles from four game developer studios: Mojiken Studio, Rolling Glory Jam, GameChanger Studio, and Tahoe Games.

With the aim to help Indonesian indie game developers getting into global market, Toge Productions will offer funding support; technical, art, and design consultancy; as well as marketing and PR strategy.

In a press statement, Toge Productions CEO and Founder Kris Antoni cited funding and access to distribution channels as the challenges faced by Indonesian game developers, despite the high quality of the works they produced.

“Indonesian indie devs don’t have the same opportunities as indie devs in the US or Europe; we need to work extra hard to get noticed. Toge Productions as one of the senior studio in the country want to change that and prove to everyone that games from a developing country such as Indonesia can have a place in the global market,” he explained.

The new titles will be released between August 2017 to late 2018, and it will be showcased on Toge Productions’ booth at the upcoming Casual Connect Asia 2017 in Singapore.
