The List of Indie-Friendly Publishers, 2017 Edition
I put together a list of indie-friendly publishers back in 2014 as I was pitching them on Guild of Dungeoneering. I'm now once again shopping for a publisher for our second game so I've put together a new and updated list! I hope it helps anyone else looking.
My goal like last time is to find a publisher that can help promote & market our game (and front the money to do so), and on top of that this time I'm also looking for someone who will co-fund development. This is for a PC & console game, so mobile-only publishers have not been included. There's also a couple here that would be money-only rather than a regular publishing arrangement, like the Indie Fund and Jonathan Blow's offer.

Thanks for reading! Now check out Guild of Dungeoneering,
a game I'm making where you build the dungeon instead of controlling the hero! \o/
