Dear Villagers, a boutique publishing label composed of a team of twenty people, has today announced a massive rebranding effort. A subsidiary of Plug in Digital, Dear Villagers emerged in 2018 and has since flourished into its own thriving, unique ecosystem of over 20 people.
Having already released such successful, beloved and award-winning titles at The Forgotten City, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, Foretales, Souldiers, and Edge Of Eternity, Dear Villagers has carved a niche for itself as an indie game publisher that partners with developers focused on narrative and world-building, making games that will be memorable long after the credits have rolled.
“When we launched Dear Villagers, we invited studios to join us in a cozy and friendly place where they’d be free to create the best gaming experiences with enthusiastic support from a rising publisher,” said Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers. “For the past few years, our company continued to grow and raise money, but we kept our ambition intact. That’s what we want to claim with this new visual identity, offering more personality, along with a clear charter of values. We live in a cool village with talented, passionate developers and artists. Come join us!”
To commemorate this rebrand, Dear Villagers has revealed its all new logo up above. Developed with marketing agency Combostrike, it’s a joyful village, a reminder that almost every endeavor in our industry is a group effort. There’s a reason for the expression “it takes a village”. The colors are inspired by landscapes from the south of France, where Dear Villagers is based, full of olive trees and lavender fields.
Dear Villagers also revealed its new key art. Realized by an artist from Toulouse called Sylvain Tohad, and his studio Umeshu Lovers, this painting represents the company’s vision of its welcoming little village, getting ready to celebrate.
