When asked if the real-time strategy game Cataclismo was a good game to start self-publishing with, Digital Sun CEO Javier "Javi" Gimenez said, "Ask me in nine months or a year." Cataclismo is Digital Sun's first self-published project; previously, the studio developed Moonlighter with 11 bit studios and The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story with Riot Games. Describing the self-publishing process, the Digital Sun team agreed that it had highs and lows but that it was worth it for the greater sense of connectivity with the player base it provided.
