Palworld's publishing and communications lead John 'Bucky' Buckley is already at the head of Pocketpair Publishing, the studio's division focused on funding smaller games from indie creators, but he's now even "more determined" to help out cool developers struggling to find funding in a shaky industry.
Buckley said as much looking back at the Game Developers Conference 2026, where he acknowledges that he's perhaps been blind to "many of the problems facing the games industry in the West" since Pocketpair is based in Tokyo, Japan.
