Raw Fury

Raw Fury AB is the video game publisher responsible for the Kingdom series, developed by the Kingdom team.

Founded in February 2015 by Gordon Van Dyke and Jonas Antonsson, Raw Fury specializes in publishing indie games. In August 2021, its majority ownership was acquired by Altor Equity Partners for an undisclosed amount.

(Un)Publisher

Raw Fury has since then been described as an UnPublisher.

“

An UnPublisher because of how badly the publishing term – or what it traditionally stands for – fits with what we’re doing. 【  】 We’re all former developers. We used to run studios, design games, produce them and ship them. We’ve seen all the shizzle, when it comes to developing games and dealing with all the traditional models. We’ve tried it all on our own skin. Now it’s our time to help fellow developers to achieve their best work and get it out there. Into the hands of people that truly appreciate what they’ve striven to create. So Raw Fury is UnPublishing – in the sense of trying to dismantle how publishing traditionally works, in favor of actually being there for the developers. They run the show. They are front and center. We’re a support unit. We are fans and cheerleaders. 【  】 We want others to be able to feel what we’ve felt, as we saw those games for the first time and experienced the amazing passion, vision, blood, sweat and tears that are the backbone of every work of art put out there in a form of a great game. —Raw Fury

And would say more about it in 2019:

“

Sometimes you need to undo a thing before you can redo it. That’s how we think when it comes to publishing games, hence that “Un” stuff at the beginning.—Raw Fury

Games published

“

We publish games (...) by putting more emphasis on “games” and less on “industry”, by building long-term partnerships with developers where both sides feel they are equals and in this together. All of us believe that games matter. They are the marriage of art and craft. They can elevate, change, entertain, surprise, and move people. They’re the modern vessels for our stories – our imagination. They facilitate communication and communion.—Raw Fury

A more comprehensive and updated list of the games published by Raw Fury can probably be found on Wikipedia.

(Un)Published articles

On November 2020 their web site was revamped, and all articles about the Kingdom series were gone along with the old design. The majority of them can still be found on the Kingdom site, because they used to be replicated there. But some of them—mainly those created before the release of Kingdom Two Crowns—were UNpublished from the site. Kingdom Wiki has archived some of them in order to make referencing on the wiki easier.
