October 22, 2026 – Vancouver, Canada – Three Trees Technical Inc., https://3treestech.com, is pleased to announce the introduction of the Outpost Indie Publishing Collective (OIPC), https://outpostindie.com/, a new initiative designed to help independent game developers bring their creative projects to market. The collective provides a collaborative environment where developers can access shared resources, mentorship, publishing support, and industry knowledge while retaining ownership and creative control of their work.

"Building a game is a lot of work, and very few people are enthusiastic about every step of the process," says Ben Leather, CEO of Three Trees Technical Inc. "You might be a great programmer but struggle with art, or be a talented artist who doesn't want to spend months learning how to code. It's often that struggle that slows things down. Really good ideas may never get finished because of it. With Outpost Indie, we're trying to bring people together who have different skills and enjoy different parts of game development. You help someone with what you're good at, they help you with what they're good at, and everyone gets a fair share for their contribution. We help with things like revenue accounting, marketing, and publishing, so developers don't have to figure all of that out on their own. Ultimately, we just want to see more great games get finished."

Outpost Indie emphasizes collaboration and developer independence. The collective is designed to support individual creators and small development teams without requiring them to establish formal studios or surrender ownership of their intellectual property. By combining community participation with practical publishing services, Outpost Indie aims to reduce the administrative and commercial barriers that frequently prevent independent projects from reaching completion.

Outpost Indie Publishing Collective Offers Key Benefits for Independent Developers:

• Retain creative independence and ownership.
  
  Developers maintain control of their projects and intellectual property while gaining access to a supportive community and optional publishing services.
• Access mentorship and shared expertise.
  
  Members can connect with other developers, exchange technical knowledge, participate in collaborative projects, and benefit from the experience of professionals working across game development disciplines.
• Simplify publishing and revenue management.
  
  The collective is developing shared tools to support distribution, sales reporting, revenue tracking, and participant compensation, allowing developers to spend more time creating and less time managing administrative tasks.
• Build connections and discover opportunities.
  
  Through community challenges, project opportunities, and collaborative initiatives, Outpost Indie encourages members to develop their skills, expand their professional networks, and bring new ideas to life.

The introduction of Outpost Indie represents an expansion of Three Trees Technical's commitment to developing practical technology solutions that empower individuals and organizations. By applying its experience in software development, business systems, and technical services to the independent games industry, the company hopes to create new opportunities for emerging developers and experienced creators alike.

Outpost Indie Publishing Collective welcomes independent developers, artists, designers, and other creative professionals interested in participating in a collaborative approach to game development and publishing.
