Hey y’all!<\/p>\n

So, maybe you remember our game was funded on Kickstarter<\/a> last year? Thanks again for that, by the way! \u00a0Anyway, a sort of post-mortem was long overdue, so instead of just lounging on the beach during my week off I took advantage of that time and started writing a three part post-mortem \/ video game Kickstarter guide.<\/p>\n

Happy to say part I is published (and featured!) on Gamasutra. \u00a0Click to read it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s more of a game development-oriented thing, but might make for an interesting read if you’re a gamer or backer nevertheless. Feels good to be able to put all our experiences, dos and donts, into one cohesive guide, and I really hope it will help other indie developers. Parts II & III coming up soon.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n
