Version 10 is out now, and this release is designed around helping you find the next publisher.

The focus is on helping you reduce the time it takes to find your next publisher. We’re also improving time zone confidence for meetings and a host of quality of life improvements when pitching.

This release includes:

• PublisherDNA – our enhanced publisher directory.
• Publisher Fit – our tool to help you find the next publisher to consider
• Better meeting coordination with time zone visibility and meeting-link support

PublisherDNA

The pitch2table publisher directory contains 461 different publishers (and continues to grow). We let you slice that by location and our insights let you know whether they are active, defunct or stale.

When it comes to finding the right publishers to pitch to, there is a lot of work involved in reading websites and looking at their catalogue. We want to help here. So, we’ve produced our own profile on 272 publishers (so far) which we are calling our PublisherDNA.

Each profile covers the type of games released based on the information on their website. These profiles are then split by line. Publishers that produce very different games, such as Alley Cat Games, will have a profile for their mint tin games and another for the essentials line.

For premium users, the PublisherDNA can be found on the publisher page, but also available when you’re shortlisting publishers to reach out to.

The PublisherDNA is a point in time snapshot of a publisher. Always check their website for their latest submission guidelines and make your own assessment about whether a given publisher is right for your game.

PublisherDNA is a premium feature and is available on both web and mobile.

Publisher Fit

Ultimately our goal is to help you find the right publisher sooner. Publisher Fit helps you identify a set of publishers for your game by comparing your pitch against our PublisherDNA. We then calculate a score based on how aligned your pitch is. Now, when you go to shortlist publishers you can see which ones have the strongest alignment. It is based on your pitch information (the tagline, the pitch and any tags you’ve used) and how you’ve explained the game will influence the result. And, because our PublisherDNA is based on multiple games by that publisher it’s extremely unlikely you’ll hit every note (or that you should strive to).

Obviously the only way to be sure a publisher is a good fit is to reach out to them, but we hope that this feature will give you some places to start and help you consider some publishers you may not have thought of. Always check their website for their latest submission guidelines and make your own assessment about whether a given publisher is right for your game.

Publisher Fit is experimental and we’ll continue to refine it as we incorporate more publishers and refine the math. No generative AI or LLMs make use of your data in calculating Publisher Fit scores.

Publisher Fit is a premium feature and is available on both web and mobile.

Better Time Zone and Meeting Planning

We have improved meeting scheduling so you can see meeting time in all participants’ time zones when adding a meeting. You can also add a direct link to your meeting room, so everything you need is in one place.

We now also warn you when a daylight saving shift will occur between now and the meeting, helping avoid accidental mistakes when the clocks spring forward and fall back.

Improved meetings is available for all users on web and mobile.

Other Enhancements and Fixes

• The publisher details page now provides a direct link to each publisher’s submission page (where known), making outreach steps faster.
• We have also added quick follow-up date options for 3, 7, and 28 days so you can log next steps with less effort.
• You can add tags to your game. These will be used by Publisher Fit.
• Sizzle video now has a copy-to-clipboard button. For pasting into submission forms.
• You can now clear a release date of an upcoming title. For when you set the wrong date or a release get postponed.
• When editing text entries, you can now copy text directly to the clipboard.
• Any more!
