I can’t wait to see it! I’ve been following him for awhile and I super appreciate the deep dives to give you context on WHY these games mattered at what was the games industry was like at the time!

I always took the view “fuck em” they aren’t worth the time energy or willpower. You aren’t the government so you aren’t going obligated to give them your time and attention.

Hey great to see someone else on the path. I’m 73 days in. Down about 12lbs! This is the furthest I have ever made it! Nice to know I can get there!

The one thing I don’t understand is knowing where my audience is. The rest is actionable to me. Setting up accounts, and posting regular.
But I don’t know where my audience is. The game is a near future sci-fi visual novel about ai (I wrote the outline years before the AI mess we are in now)

My biggest fear is that I won’t get another shot at this. I self funded my game but I was a bachelor and saved up a ton of money to try. Now I’m married and we got extremely lucky and got a house. But it all costs cash.
I know I need to market. I have no idea how to start

Not gonna lie. Im burning up the last of my runway. I’ve cut all that can be cut. I just want to have something released to prove that we existed! Chances are it gets buried and our studio dies. I can defend every choice I made but it doesn’t change the fact that despite it all. It’s still just done

Yknow, I think Alex Murphy would appreciate having a grandma type helping him. And Jessica might like working with a competent police officer for once 😁

they literally state “the law doesn’t apply to us” several times throughout the show and double sleeving is illegal so no need to spin off anything

You know the most brutal part about games. They take so long! Things that were true when you started are no longer true years later. And it just gets more expensive every year. God, every single year!

Commit or don’t bother. If you’re going to do something.Do It! From the start all the way up to the end. No diversions. No side tracks. Ask yourself the question “Does this help me ship my game?” If the answer isn’t an obvious “Yes!” Then don’t waste your time on it.

You’re not alone I had an artist I worked with tell me that this year he had to quit. He loved the work but I couldn’t pay him enough. He said “I just can’t chase the dream anymore.” And he did chase it! he moved out to Seattle, contracted with WotC and valve. But never got that break he needed.
