Games we publish
How we help indies
We know that every game is unique, so we focus on doing what makes the most sense for each game we work on. Sometimes that means getting covered by websites, sometimes it’s reaching out to content creators and streamers, sometimes community and social media presence is the goal and once in a while a game will require thinking outside the box.
More often than not it’s all of these things in different amounts, so we created a monthly retainer option to help get your game out there!

About us
We are based all over the UK, except Laura who is usually trapped in Denmark. Thomas and Paul founded Future Friends Games in 2017 after working together for a while. Since then we’ve been collecting nice people to come and work with us.
We love indie games, and we started the company to help indie devs build sustainable careers so we can have more of them. Here’s the team (in order of joining):
Thomas (He/Him)
Twitter / Olima
Best known for his GDC talks, his new goal is to become a tiktok influencer
Paul (He/Him)
Twitter / ThisPaulNadin
He used to be a chef and now he’s not sure what his job is
Alex (He/Him)
Twitter / Beesbreakfast
Constantly attempting to retreat into the wilds, we drag him back and make him do publishing things
Kris (He/Him)
Twitter / Kriswb
No spreadsheet too big, no backend too obtuse, he puts the whole company on his back every day
Grace (She/Her)
Twitter / GracinhaWrites
She’s becoming far too powerful and must be stopped, her second (!!) book is coming out next year
Caitlin (They/Them)
Twitter / thatsimicplayer
An artist with a thriving business and successful crowdfunding campaigns we somehow tricked into working here
Laura (She/Her)
Twitter / Cesaura_
AKA ‘the light in the darkness’. You’ll find her doing professional video editing and community management with a smile
Natalie (She/Her)
Twitter / Heartimecia
Award-winning journalist, destroyer of timezones, editor of visual novels and also consultant on narrative-focused AAA games and indies alike. No biggie! Will not rest until she learns everything about everything
Abi (She/Her)
Twitter / Opal-inkcosplay
She once cosplayed so hard she became a real videogame character. She’s like the Liam Neeson in Taken of TikTok sounds (not weird), we also throw publishing tasks at her.
