They shifted focus away from publishing games and as a developer made the highly successful (and highly awesome) Worms series of games. They then continued to make a steady stream of Worms titles for the next 18 years… showing that it is indeed possible to milk a worm. So why return to publishing now? According to their press release:
The first title being published is an indie game called Light, developed by a studio called Just a Pixel. Team17 is funding the development of the game and it is already on Steam Greenlight here. The game looks like a more minimalist version of Monaco if you ask me… but feel free to judge for yourself as they’ve put a free demo online here.
If you’re developing a game and are in the market for a publisher, Team17 encourages you to contact them at [email protected]
