Digital Dave

Some Notes…

• From the World of Goo Minds
  • Make your game instantly rewarding
  • Do not accept anything less than 60% for digital distribution royalties
  • Keep your IP
  • Learn to talk incredibly fast while making crazy ass jokes that make your audience laugh their asses off instead of writing down notes for your lecture… Er. Yeah. =X
• N+ Post
  • Make a WELL DEVELOPED PROTOTYPE in an easy language to find if your game will be fun
  • Self Fund: Load or Grants
    • Best Royalty (obviously)
    • Fewest Financial Risk
    • Retains IP
  • Tackle Biggest Problems First
  • Outsource Early – People HATE getting stuff in the last minute
  • Build tools in C#. Fast and robust (I agree)
  • Render fonts to bitmaps if you’re supporting Asian languages
• Indie Reality Check
  • Hussle
  • MTV and Newsweek want to hear about your personal success stories. Be Personal if you want to get attention. Who gives a rabbits flying monkey’s ass if you coded a sweet game. Every game is sweet. But if you did it without a right arm and you have a learning disability, now that’s a story. ;p
  • You should have
    • Business Card, Website, and a Blog so people can get to know you better
