Hooded Horse is a rapidly growing American video game publisher that has established itself as a champion of deep strategic and tactical gaming experiences since its founding in 2019. Based in Dallas, Texas, and founded by Tim Bender and Snow Rui, the company has built its reputation by specializing in publishing sophisticated strategy, simulation, and role-playing games that emphasize tactical depth and complex decision-making systems. Hooded Horse operates with a distinctly developer-friendly philosophy, offering generous revenue-sharing agreements where developers retain 65% of all revenues following a game's release, while the publisher commits to allocating at least $100,000 for localization and marketing support for each project. The company has distinguished itself through an unconventional approach to publisher-developer relationships, notably signing over 25 publishing contracts without relying on traditional pitch decks, instead focusing on building genuine partnerships with developers who share their passion for strategic gaming. Hooded Horse's mission centers on empowering and supporting developers to pursue their creative visions while providing the resources and expertise necessary to bring world-class strategic gaming experiences to global audiences. With a portfolio spanning historical strategy, space exploration, city building, and tactical combat across diverse settings from medieval times to distant futures, the publisher has demonstrated remarkable growth and success in identifying and nurturing innovative projects within the strategy gaming niche. Their commitment to supporting developers in creating meaningful, complex gaming experiences has positioned Hooded Horse as an important advocate for strategic gaming in an industry increasingly focused on broader market appeal.
