Why we publish Built by creators,
Built by creators,
for creators.
We started Waypoint Studios because we'd been on the other side of the table, shipping our own Marketplace projects and figuring out the hard way what works. That perspective shapes everything we do: clear contracts, fast feedback, real marketing muscle, and a partnership team that actually plays the games.
From your first pitch deck to your tenth release, we're in the trenches with you, handling submissions, store optimization, cross-promotion, and the long-tail revenue work that keeps your catalog earning.

Words from the people we ship with.
Every partner we onboard gets the same promise: real time, real care, real numbers. Here's what they've been saying.
What surprised me most was how much they pushed back on weak ideas. That feedback culture is rare, and it's the reason our maps actually land.BeBlock StudioMini-game Specialists
Waypoint understood our cinematic style from day one. They didn't try to flatten us into a template. They helped us be more ourselves.Giltwind StudiosAdventure Map Creators
The store optimisation alone paid for the partnership in the first quarter. They know the algorithm, the trends, the audience.Tucano StudiosBrazil-based partner
I came in skeptical of publishers. Two years later we're a Mojang official partner, and we wouldn't have got there alone.WithercoreNow a Mojang Official Partner
FAQ
Common questions about partnering.
Don't see your question here? Reach out to us at our partner team. We read every message.
Any creator with a portfolio of Minecraft work, shipped or unshipped, can apply. We look for people who are serious about their craft, open to feedback, and committed to building a long-term catalog rather than a single release.
It varies by partner and project, and we negotiate transparently. Most partnerships sit in a range that's competitive with industry standards, and we share the full structure during onboarding before any contract is signed.
Yes. You retain ownership of your IP. We license what we need to publish and market the project, but the underlying creation stays yours.
From a finished build to live on the Marketplace, expect 8-12 weeks depending on submission cycles, marketing prep, and revisions. We work with you on a realistic timeline up front.
That's fine, and honest. We work with creators at every stage, including teams making their first paid release. If you're earlier than that, our blog and Discord are great places to learn from partners who've been there.
