Operations and Publishing
Operations and Publishing
Following the success of Descenders, No More Robots published management simulator Not Tonight, which was widely covered in the mainstream media for its dystopian take on Brexit. In 2019, the publishing label released Independent Games Festival-nominated operating system simulator Hypnospace Outlaw and card-based roguelike Nowhere Prophet. In 2020, No More Robots released kingdom management sim Yes, Your Grace, and life simulator Family Man. Founder Mike Rose spoke on the state of indie publishing, the industry, and the company in a 2024 interview. Rose stated that smaller publishers need to look at the long term without obsessing over exponential growth. No More Robots' approach focuses on "pragmatic survival" in favor of topping sales charts. The company announced their first self-developed game with the 2026 management simulator Cruise Control.
