How Not to Make a Game

On this show I chat to Manuela Malasaña about Team Dogpit and their games including their game that is currently in development Red Star Azimuth.

We also chat about

• the advantages/disadvantages of distribution platforms
• people hustling for free keys that result in no coverage
• using social media as a marketing tool and the issues of only having other devs as followers
• building up awareness of a game before actual release
• balancing solo development alongside a job that pays the bills (and making the decision to go full time dev)
• and the process (and costs involved) of hiring voice actors for an indie project

During the show Manuela mentions Cat Like Coding which can be found here https://catlikecoding.com/ and voice actor indie rate guide which can be found here http://voiceactingclub.com/rates/
