Hello. C J here. Infinity Game Studios is the next generation publishing house. While I don't hire I am always willing to partner with another brand, individual, or company. This page outlines the partnership process and what it's meant to be used for. Here's what all that means.
Inclusivity
One of Infinity Game Studios' main goals is to create a setting and a series of novels that are inclusive to everyone. All ages and identities are welcome here. Gone are the days where a book aimed at a young audience has to have a teenage protagonist or it isn't allowed to be published. Gone are the times when adults aren't allowed to enjoy child appropriate books because some publisher won't let them. Everyone is welcome here. The books are for everyone, as is the setting they are in.
Spirituality
The company's other main goal is to promote healthy knowledge of real world spirituality and mysticism. The history of planet Earth is fascinating and written in the language of mythology and magic. These are not new terms to the fantasy genre. We borrowed them from those who came before us. Magic is a very real force in then world regardless of whether it's in a modern day novel or an ancient poem. I want every Earth myth and spiritual practice to have a place in the setting I write.
Never Out of Print
My major gripe with the older generation of publishing houses is that they won't reprint a book even if it is popular and would sell well. They pay authors little because quite frankly they don't want them. There's always someone new in line to replace an author if they don't produce a book a year.
As a result I'm running my own printing operation. I'm using a high end laser printer to physically print the pages and I'm hand binding them myself. The printing coats of having a book factory printed for you are often $50 for an 80 page paperback. I've had offers from these people to pay more to print my books at a lower volume with more shipping fees. I'd lose money. Not happening. I can print a 200 page novel for about $1.50. Since I am printing them myself I'm never putting a book out of print. Not ever. 40 years from now you'll still be able to get a copy of The Astral Chronicle Arc One at the same price.
Partnership
Here at Infinity Game Studios I actively promote fan works and fan involvement with the storytelling process. Please at all times feel encouraged to make fan works including art, fiction and music. If you would like to sell your fan works then it's a simple matter of signing up for the Patreon and becoming a partner. The Patreon is a donation funding platform that the entire company runs on in addition to in person product sales.
For $15 a month you have my permission to make and sell any works based on my setting and characters you like. You can use the entire setting as detailed in the novels and the Regency card game. Regency in particular is written to be a guide to use the setting in fan works. There are a few guidelines but otherwise anything goes.
Don't kill a character you don't own.
Don't blow up a planet or location you don't own.
Don't change the magic system.
Adult content is allowed so long as it's respectful to the characters.
The Captain and his crew from The Astral Chrinicle are not recommended for fan works. Other characters from The Astral Chronicle including Sarah and Carter are encouraged for use.
Please send all business inquiries to my business email.
