The GUMSHOE Community program provides a variety of free resources for publishers, including logos, layout templates, and artwork. These are listed among the products for the program.

After creating your title, visit the account page and look in the "My Content" section. There you will find the link "Add a new title". You must agree to the Community Content Agreement in order to upload a new title.

We give you a few pointers on how to publicize your product and ensure that it hits the right tone our fans expect.
