A publishing partner, not a distant backer

Built around the people who make the games.

Yusova Interactive is an independent game publishing house working with selected development teams. We combine selective project co funding with practical production support, publishing strategy and routes to market.

Every partnership begins with the game, the team and a shared understanding of what it needs to reach its full potential. Studios retain their creative voice. We bring the support to help that vision travel further.

How we work

A considered partnership at every stage.

We bring the right kind of support to each project, shaped around its goals and the strengths of its team.

Selective co funding

We consider a focused slate of projects where our contribution can make a meaningful difference to development and launch.

Production partnership

We work alongside studios on planning, milestones and production challenges while respecting how they create.

Publishing reach

We help shape positioning, marketing, platform strategy and distribution so the right players can discover the game.

Made with developers, not instead of them
The Yusova perspective

Protect the vision. Strengthen the journey.

A great publishing relationship is built on trust, clarity and shared ambition.

We believe developers should have room to make the game they set out to create. Our role is to contribute experience, resources and a considered publishing plan around that creative direction.

Kanji Sod

The person leading Yusova's publishing vision and acquisition direction.

Kanji Sod is the founder and CEO of Yusova Interactive, serving as its Acquisition Director. He leads the company's approach to identifying promising independent games and exploring publishing relationships that can help those projects move forward.

Yusova is being built around a straightforward principle: the best partnerships support a game's ambition without taking its identity away from the people creating it. That means starting with the project, understanding the studio's needs and shaping the right scope of support together.

What guides us

The principles behind
every partnership.

We want developers to understand what Yusova stands for before they ever send a pitch.

01

Creative ownership

The studio's creative direction and authorship matter. Our role is to collaborate around the vision, not replace it.

02

Clarity from the start

We value open conversations about scope, timelines, responsibilities, risks and expectations before a partnership is shaped.

03

Selective by design

We focus on projects where our involvement can make a meaningful difference, rather than promising a fixed package to every studio.

04

Shared ambition

We look for alignment between the people making the game and the people helping it reach its audience.

The people behind the work

Founder-led.
Partner-minded.

Yusova Interactive is currently presented as a founder-led publishing venture. We do not list unconfirmed employees, advisors, studio partners or credits as part of our team.

As the company grows and formal team roles or partnerships are confirmed for public announcement, this page can introduce those people and their responsibilities. Until then, we prefer to be clear about who is leading the company rather than create a team directory that suggests relationships that have not been announced.

Publishing at Yusova

More than a deal.
A shared direction.

We bring funding, production partnership and publishing capabilities together around games we believe in.

What we bring

Support that moves the project forward.

Our involvement is shaped by each game's needs. We do not force every studio into the same publishing template.

Project co funding

Selective financial participation to help promising independent projects reach meaningful production and release milestones. Scope and structure are discussed project by project.

Production support

Collaborative planning, milestone visibility and practical problem solving, with a focus on enabling the development team rather than directing its creative work.

Marketing and positioning

Audience definition, product positioning, campaign planning, community development and creative launch strategy built around the identity of each game.

Distribution and launch

Publishing coordination, platform and storefront planning, release readiness and distribution support to connect games with players.

Our philosophy

“The best publishing partnerships give a studio the confidence to make its game, and the support to take it further.”

We aim for open communication, clear expectations and a shared understanding of responsibilities. Creative direction remains with the people making the game.

A thoughtful process

From first conversation to launch.

01

Understand the game

We learn about the concept, team, audience, production stage and what the studio needs from a publishing partner.

02

Shape the partnership

If there is a fit, we explore scope, co funding requirements, responsibilities, milestones and a realistic route to market.

03

Build and bring it to players

We work collaboratively through production, publishing preparation and launch, adapting support as the project evolves.

Who we want to meet

Independent teams with a point of view.

We are interested in studios with a clear creative identity, a considered vision for their project and the commitment to bring it to players. We welcome conversations at different stages of development where a publishing partnership could add real value.

We do not expect every studio to have all the answers. We do value honest communication, thoughtful planning and a collaborative approach.
