Probably not the right thread to tell my life story but the short version is that I started young and my overhead has been covered while I try to make a sustainable career.
The growing pains are reaching their limit and I'm determined to stay independent or die trying.
I'm currently optimistic since I've heard nothing but enthusiasm for the physical release!
If this isn't the right thread, feel free to start another one for it.
Always fun and fascinating to really get to know people.
My "little" brother is actually starting his own game development studies in a few months.
I'll be quite curious to see how and where he'll eventually be able to conjure up his money from.
Based on what I know, the game industry can be quite competitive.
But thankfully between Indie developers, things can be quite friendly.
Certainly things on the pirate gaming front have definitely been becoming quite lively again this year; with more cooperation than I've seen in a long long time.
It's really a nice thing to see happen!
When I first tried to get onto Facebook it became too intrusive instantly and I backed out.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer if you enjoy my work and want to review it or simply share links!
I'm not sure how much time I could afford to spend helping.
There's a lot on my plate; and t
he things I want to do are... ambitious FAAAR beyond actual reason.
I barely get (take?) the time to play games at all these days.
Even though it should be quite fun to do al sorts of "research" and write down my thoughts about it all.
I've definitely been considering documenting my sizeable collection of interesting stuff here.
But there's only one of me; and a
whooole bunch of things to check out...
I wished there were someone who could just go around the various Facebook pages and just subtly mention all the cool things happening in Indie Land.
Who has the time though? I do a bit here and there when the fancy strikes me; but good advertising is a science all to its own...
Do you have any specific FSM elements in your game?
The Spaghetti Monster groups are pretty darn big! And generally talk a lot of hilarious crap.
Inserting some interactive piratey value in there is something I've always been curious to try; just to see what kind of response could be stirred up there.
And yep; Facebook IS a weird place.
It can be a bit intrusive; and it's also definitely strangely buggy in my experience; for such a famous billion-dollar platform.
-because you can wear full pirate regalia while giving a sermon!
Sauce be upon him and his noodly appendage,
Ramen.
That's the spirit, me hearty!
Rev. Petrus D.M. Boelen salutes you as a friendly fellow (fella?).
*grabs pirate hat from my cupboard*
Does that work? I'm still getting the hang of the whole Pastafarian thing.
I've loved it ever since I heard about it; and the Gospel is a work of art.
But I'm not used to acting like it. Roman Catholic upbringing will do that for ya...
