About us
Hello, we are Future Friends games and we do indie games publishing & self-publishing support
in short, we are a mix of a publisher and publishing support for hire!
We think that puts us in a really special spot where we know loads of publisher things from our games (how to talk to first parties, how get the most out of your budget, how certification works etc) but also have all the knowledge from our agency games (good press and influencer contacts, on top of social media trends, etc) which helps both sides of the business.
We think we maybe had a good idea to do this or something. Wild!
Meet the Team
We are based all over the UK, except Laura who is usually trapped in Denmark or Australia (don’t ask) and Cruz is on world tour. Thomas, Paul and Alex founded Future Friends Games in 2017, and since then we’ve been collecting a motley crew of 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)
Too cool for Twitter
Constantly attempting to retreat into the wilds, we drag him back and make him do publishing things
Kris (He/Him)
Bluesky / Kriswb
A naturalist at heart, Kris kindly donates his indoor hours to making sense of the chaos at future friends. We wouldn’t survive a day without him
Grace (She/Her)
Twitter / GracinhaWrites
She’s become far too powerful and must be stopped. A Sunday Times bestselling author, her fourth (!!) book Heaven’s Graveyard came out this year.
Caitlin (They/Them)
Twitter / thatsimicplayer
An artist with a thriving business and successful crowdfunding campaigns we somehow tricked into working here
Laura C (She/Her)
AKA ‘the light in the darkness’. You’ll find her doing professional video editing and social management with a smile
Abi (She/Her)
Twitter / Opal-inkcosplay
She once cosplayed so hard she became a real videogame character. She spends her days in the influencer trenches, dreaming of long egg (not weird).
Robyn (She/Her)
Dancer, barista, and rider of tiny bikes. Manages publishing things sometimes too.
Beth (She/Her)
Twitter /
Beth’s biggest hobby is collecting crafty hobbies and she is disproportionately obsessed with wrestling. As well as providing invaluable support to the Friends she has also nearly finished an English degree (you can do it Beth!!)
Louisa (She/Her)
An unstoppable force of Content Creation, Louisa still makes time to update the team on cool bird things, bus stop protests and tinned pears while smashing out trending tiktoks.
Cruz (He/Him)
Spends his time making Future Friends jealous with his many food pics, and bringing his infectious enthusiasm to our published games. Please let him teach you how to play Magic the Gathering.
Henry (He/Him)
Henry describes himself as Spiritually Bald, his achievements also include being AXA Health's 2019 Mario Kart champion. Our resident recovering games journalist, Henry specialises in VR and will not stop getting stuff done.
Owen (They/Them)
Do you need a trailer? Do you want a goofy little guy with a pretty cool mustache to make it? Of course you do.
Charlie (She/Her)
Charlie brings massive experience in indie games but it doesn’t stop there! In previous lives she’s worked in music, books, illustration, film and tv, she’s the Charli xcx your mom warned you about.
