Hey all, Had a great meeting with IGDA Melbourne last week, with fantastic presentations from Tin Man Games on the reality and honest financials of being an indie game developer. Stephan Schutze and Trent Kusters spoke about personal branding, marketing, online presence and portfolios, and preparation for job applications and interviews. It ended up being
Hey everyone, Well, it’s been a busy few weeks since we got back from our trip. We’ve had lots to organise and plan, both with personal stuff and work stuff. In amongst all of that though, I was recently asked to talk (or mutter inanely as the case may be) on the Drop Bear Gaming

Hey all, Well, it’s been a while since my last update, mostly because a lot’s been happening lately. I’ll try and summarise the main details briefly, and update further in other posts.
