“Working with Novy Unlimited was very easy and an absolute joy. They will take care of the PR and marketing activities for you and relieve you from the burden of having to handle social media, or to send press releases, as decided and agreed with them.”
– Adam Solo (Praxis Games)

“Hiring Novy PR to help launch our first game was easily the best investment we have ever made. We got amazing coverage, hit the front page of the App Store and Google Play, and ended up with a devoted fan base that has been following us ever since.”
– Seth & Sam Coster, Co-Founders (Butterscotch Shenanigans)

“Novy has done an excellent job and has greatly amplified our launch. This week, The Spatials was everywhere and traffic was an order of magnitude higher on our home page — which is a good indicator, since it only has indirect linking from the Steam store page. And more importantly, the exposure greatly helped get more clicks even inside Steam — since people recognized the name and logo from their browsing. If it wasn’t for Novy’s work, we could have sunk early and fast.”
– Carlos Carrasco (Weird and Wry)

“It’s rare that I get a press release with a subject line I don’t want to change, but not that one;
it remains fully intact.”
– Kirk Hiner, Editor (TechnologyTell)

“I’ve been super happy with our move to a PR agency (Novy) over doing it ourselves.”
– Brian Bucklew (Freehold Games)

– Matt Siegel & Robert Del Papa (Bit Mass)

“An agency with exceptional expertise in servicing game developers and publishers. Very happy to say that Novy provides services to FarVision on game production and marketing.”
– Fran Duncan (FarVision Studios)

“I typically follow up with the developers, or the PR firm representing them, in order to gather
some additional info about the project. However, Novy’s initial email was
so detailed that I didn’t need to follow up.”
– Patrick Tretina (Indie Game Magazine)

“Great marketing and promotion, focused in their industry, good track record, transparency.”
– Pete Markiewicz

“Novy Unlimited is a well knit, organized and highly knowledgable company that I have the pleasure to work with. Novy always works around my schedule and most importantly are empathetic and downright friendly. I wish Novy Unlimited nothing but continued success as they carry on making their mark in the video game industry.”

“I’m so incredibly jealous of the people who have access to books like this. In the comfort of your home, you get to read work created by experts introducing you to all facets of game development in about 100th of the amount of time it took me. It’s a career boost that I could have only dreamed of!”
– David Perry, Video Game Industry Veteran
