Founded by music industry veteran, Riley McShane and video game industry veteran Steven Sawyer, Proponent Games is focused on collaborating with passionate independent game developers and providing the support and resources needed to transform that passion for game development into a playable reality.

Along with its formation, Proponent Games reveals today the first two titles of its inaugural catalogue, partnering with developer Blasted Realms on its upcoming hack and slash fantasy title Rise of the Betrayer and developer Summitsphere on its Breakout-inspired Antonball Deluxe both releasing in early 2021.

 “We are thrilled to finally be able to announce our publishing company and new partnerships,”said Riley McShane, CEO of Proponet Games. “Proponent Games was born out of the simple desire to get more good games out into the ether and has now manifested into a reality where we can give talented, independent developers the platform and opportunity to put their passions on display and connect to the world through their games.”

“Without equal opportunity, there cannot be equal representation. At Proponent Games, we seek out developers who - without our help - may not otherwise ever attain the resources they need to see their hard work come to fruition,” said Steve Sawyer, President of Proponent Games. “Supporting these incredibly talented and underrepresented developers, and giving them a platform from which they can see their dreams come to life, is the highest goal that we hope to achieve through this company.”

Developers interested in contacting Proponent Games about potential partnerships are welcome to contact them via the website.
