Lyrical Media launches new indie writer, Lyrical Games, helmed by Private Division alumni

Independent manufacturing firm Lyrical Media has launched Lyrical Games, a brand new, privately funded indie video games writer helmed by Blake Rochkind, former head of enterprise improvement at Private Division.

The new writer has “significant private funding” and is primarily centered on the triple-i house, aiming to help “imaginative and high-caliber games that live between the extremes of smaller indies and massive AAA productions.”

In addition to Rochkind, Lyrical Games’ seasoned group contains Roger Kurtz, former head of manufacturing at Private Division, and publishing veterans from Devolver Digital, Humble Games, and Microsoft.

“At Lyrical Games, we firmly believe developers are often the best stewards of their own games,” stated Blake Rochkind, head of Lyrical Games, in a press launch saying the launch. “In in the present day’s panorama, there has by no means been extra noise, and never each developer essentially wants a writer. We constructed Lyrical Games to be the type of writer they need to work with.

“In this new normal, it’s never been more important for both developers and their publishing partners to share a clear, holistic vision at the outset—not just for the game itself, but who that audience is and how they can and should be reached.”

The writer has already signed three titles, together with the subsequent recreation from Homeworld 3 developer Blackbird Interactive. According to Lyric Games, information and divulges for these titles are “coming soon.”

“In the high-end indie or ‘triple-i’ space, we believe we can offer among the best, if not the best, deal terms available right now,” Rochkind continued. “We’re not simply searching for builders, however for companions who need a significant say in all of the methods their recreation can be proven to the world.

“Developers we work with will always have ownership of their IP, and our partnerships will always value collaboration and transparency above all else.”
