Slitherine launches the Kameleon Project for indie game dev support

Indie game developer Slitherine Software has launched its own “brainchild” project in order to provide resource assistance for other independent game developers of the industry, helping to bring their own games to market. The Kameleon Project, as its called, is the outsourcing resource for the little guys.

Music direction and content, artists, programmers, concept designers, marketing and advertising, business or even the basic advice – Kameleon Project will provide them all. They’ve already worked with one other independent game developers, namely Firepower Entertainment and DoubleThink Studios, for the war title Commanders – Europe at War, and it’s the first title to come out as a result of the project.

Although they’ve focused on aiding the production of a 2D strategy PC game, slated for a May 2007 mastering, the Kameleon Project is also available for indie developers hoping to deliver their titles to the consoles. With the hefty licensing issues aside, the project should be able to provide further options and support for game developers who are focused on making great games and not great marketing.
 
Does this mean we could expect more indie games to show up soon? While the PC community has been the current brunt of the indie market, it would be interesting how it turns out for the console gamers out there. If you’ve got word on a great game that could use some backing, inform the people behind the project through the “Read” link below.
