Motivational indie poster: Marketing
Jan 3rd
Or demotivational? Anyway it’s a poster. A tongue-in-cheek poster but if I have to say so then … well I’ll try to do better next time.
Marketing is like a highway filled with grey cars. There are so many cars and most of them all look the same so it’s really difficult to have someone notice [...]
2013 is coming … A look back and forward
Dec 25th
I keep telling myself that I should post more on this blog and I never do. I do have stuff to say about games but often I just find someone else who said what I would have said in much better words so my post never leave the draft folder. So my first wish for [...]
Random thoughts about IP rights and indie devs
Jun 22nd
Well I said random so stick with me a bit…
First I’ll point you there: http://rampantgames.com/blog/?p=4474 (do yourself a favor and read part 1 & 2)
Okay back? Now go read this: http://www.lostgarden.com/2012/06/goodbye-realm-of-mad-god.html
If you’re really back you’re great I must say. So what can we get from that?
The first thing I get from that is that if [...]
The few times I was the dungeon master …
Jun 14th
In our D&D group we were all sharing the dungeon master role. Well mostly others would share that role in fact. I never enjoyed being the dungeon master as I was all over the place. I tried once to run an adventure I bought and it was even worst. So when I couldn’t escape the [...]
The game industry is very sick here. Is it in your country too?
May 27th
I wish I could link to that article I read on my PAPER newspaper about 2 weeks ago but apparently making it easy to find offline articles online is similar to witchcraft or something. I’ll come back to this later.
By now I guess you all heard about 38 studios. Well that’s just a tiny bit [...]
When the game you developed is haunting you
Feb 22nd
The most difficult thing I had (and still have) to do is to explain to players why I’m letting sleep an online game I worked on (not kill just letting it be on its own). It happened to Golemizer and it’s now going in the same direction for Star Corsairs at the moment. It’s not [...]
Tomorrow we will still be struggling indies
Feb 10th
I don’t mean to piss on Double Fine’s parade but their incredible experience on Kickstarter in the last 24 hours doesn’t mean a whole lot to most of us. For most of us tomorrow will be the same.
Is you name on Wikipedia? Did you released a critically acclaimed game? Did you tape a video with Cookie [...]
My 2011 indie experience in review
Dec 31st
I fixed the big mess of my server just in time to get into 2012 and to write this post. Here’s a look at what I went through as an indie in 2011.
Month by month
January, February: The birth of Star Corsairs
During the holidays I started to work on what would become Star Corsairs: Commander, Star [...]
What an indie MMO dev should be careful about SWTOR
Dec 16th
This is my answer to Beau Hindman article named What F2P and indie games can learn from SWTOR. To be fair to Beau maybe I shouldn’t call myself an indie MMO developer. Maybe I should say I’m some kind of Rambo MMO developer. He’s doing a great job to talk about indie and lesser know [...]
No need to be humble to launch a bundle
Dec 11th
It seems that every week a new indie game bundle appears. With each new bundle we hear one more time that this bundle madness should stop. Why do these people care? I have no idea. Probably jealousy I guess. I’m jealous myself as it seems I can’t get in any bundle but I don’t understand [...]
