Good Shepherd Entertainment is an innovative Dutch video game publisher that has evolved from pioneering crowdfunding platforms to become a respected leader in indie game publishing and strategic partnerships. Originally founded in 2011 as Gambitious Digital Entertainment and rebranded in 2017, the Amsterdam-based company represents a unique evolution in gaming finance and publishing, having successfully transitioned from equity-based crowdfunding to traditional publishing while maintaining their commitment to supporting independent developers. Good Shepherd Entertainment specializes in what the industry calls "triple-I" games - titles that bridge the gap between indie and AAA productions - focusing on high-caliber, high-quality entertainment that receives the attention and resources typically reserved for larger studio productions. The company has distinguished itself through its philosophy of creating long-term partnerships with developers rather than simple contractual relationships, providing comprehensive support throughout the development and marketing process. With strong connections to popular culture intellectual properties and strategic collaborations with major entertainment companies, Good Shepherd Entertainment has demonstrated expertise in bringing licensed content to interactive media while respecting both the source material and gaming audiences. Since becoming part of the Devolver Digital family in 2021, the company has continued to expand its influence in the indie publishing space while maintaining its distinctive approach to developer relations and market positioning. Their commitment to bridging traditional finance models with modern game development has established them as an important player in the evolving landscape of independent game publishing.
