I took the time this month to really reflect on the business, marketing, game design, playtesting and scope of the game, in order to see what I could learn and bring forward to my next projects, and I hope this video might help any aspiring game developers on their own journeys. I made a lot of mistakes and took quite a few suboptimal paths developing Farewell North, so it was honestly a bit of a struggle to condense it down to a ~20 minute video. 0:00 Four Years to Release 0:17 Know your Business 2:35 Porting to Consoles 3:40 Bundle your Game 4:18 Know your Game 8:08 Marketing your Game 11:08 Playtest your game 12:52 Mock Reviews 14:22 Scope your Game 16:34 Get Outside #devlog #gamedev #gaming #videogames #indiedev #indiegame #unity #unity3d #madewithunity #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamers #steam #gamemarketing This video is sponsored by Skillshare.
