About Robot Teddy and Thunderful:

Robot Teddy is a video game consultancy, helping studios worldwide wherever we are most needed. We support developers who want to self-publish their game by providing support with business development, release management, marketing, and strategy, and we act as a sounding board for everything in between. More than this, we act as a trusted partner - helping developers navigate and double down on their success. We are a small team of experts worldwide committed to making a positive difference in the industry.

Robot Teddy is part of the Thunderful Group AB, which has two business segments – Thunderful Games and Thunderful Distribution. Thunderful Games started as a merger between two Swedish self-publishing indie studios, coming together to make something greater than they could have done independently. Over the last few years, Thunderful Games has, organically and via acquisitions, grown into a Europe-wide organization of more than 300 people. Besides the award-winning internal development pipeline, Thunderful Games also publishes many third-party titles, as well as growing and consulting many others to become the best they can be.
