The GOAT Store, LLC today announced that they would be relaunching a GOAT Store Publishing Web site on September 9th. GOAT Store Publishing, the independent publishing branch of the GOAT Store, LLC is best known for pioneering independent Dreamcast publishing and has producing more independent games for the Dreamcast than any other company.
The relaunched GOAT Store Publishing Web site will focus on the history of the releases that have come so far, as well as the people behind them. By relaunching on September 9th, the GOAT Store hopes to have another opportunity to celebrate the Dreamcast independent developers have accomplished on it.
“We have always worked to showcase independent developers to the best of our ability, while at the same time respecting the Dreamcast fans.” Gary Heil of the GOAT Store said. “We never felt that we needed to disguise our games as official releases to sell them or make outlandish claims that we couldn’t back up. Our releases have stood on their own. We never felt the need to threaten to leave the Dreamcast community if a game didn’t sell well. We haven’t published any games with the goal of getting rich or famous; we’ve published games because they were great titles that we felt players needed to play.”
The GOAT Store notes that the relaunch is not really as much about GOAT Store Publishing, but people and companies like Cryptic Allusion (Feet of Fury), Harmless Lion (Cool Herders), JMD (Maqiupai), Mad Peet (Irides) and lastly ChaosReins (Spinner for Atari Jaguar) who are the real stars of what has been accomplished.
