In his follow-up to Video Game Publishing (May 2025), veteran Games Industry executive and Dark Product founder Scott Millard delivers an unflinching account of the forces shaping the medium: ownership, capital, and culture colliding in gaming’s most turbulent era yet.

One year ago, a small horror game arrived on Steam with no marketing budget, no franchise history, and no reason to be noticed in a marketplace that buries thousands of indie releases every month.

Independent developer Studio Ortica and publisher Dark Product are delighted to announce that the acclaimed fishing-horror game Loan Shark is heading to consoles in early 2026.

The wait is over. The rumors are true. The meat is wiggling. MEATSHAKER™ is finally here.

From the team that brought you the award-winning indie sensation Ratshaker comes a new name, a new face, and the same unshakable experience. Introducing MEATSHAKER™, the world’s most cathartic answer to your questionable protein problems.

Xbox Indie Selects matters so much. It’s not just a showcase; it’s a signal to players that there are bold, original ideas worth exploring beyond the mainstream.

Following the full Xbox launch of cult horror sensation RATSHAKER™ on July 16, the madness intensifies today with the release of two downloadable content packs designed to rattle even the most seasoned players.

Sunscorched Studios and Dark Product are proud to announce that Ratshaker™ on Xbox Series X|S, the unhinged horror game that took the PC world by storm, will make its XBOX debut starting July 16th, 2025.

The bestselling, cult-favorite shaking horror game RATSHAKER™ RATchets up the chaos with two brand new downloadable content packs!
