Comment In: 44% of surveyed game developers plan to try crowdfunding [News - 03/01/2013 - 05:27]

I think saying that Kickstarter ...

I think saying that Kickstarter is high risk is a bit of an exaggeration. I think it is fair to say that to stand any chance of getting funded a developer needs to put a lot of effort into the campaign so it can 't be considered to be free ...

except the better F2P usually don 't make enough money to be viable. Bahamut does make money which is why it 's structured that way. I hate games like this too but developers are finding out the hard way that giving away a game which is fun to play, no ...

I really liked this article. Thanks for writing it. It was a really fun read even if it didn 't answer or maybe even pose, important questions. Could do with a bit more of this IMO to liven the place up a bit.

Great little article. Some good ...

Great little article. Some good tips and some good revision. I agree with 2 and it 's interesting because it reminds me of something Chris Crawford said in his book, Chris Crawford on game design. Can 't remember the exact quote but his point was that in game design systems ...

Comment In: EA: Blaming sexism for lack of women in our industry is a cop-out [News - 01/21/2013 - 05:34]

Out of interest Kaitlyn do you think the reason why there are so few male nurses is similar E.g. the blatant hostility to men in the nursing professions weeds out all but the 100 dedicated Or do you think women make better nurses because they tend to be naturally more ...

Comment In: Gas Powered bets it all on a new Kickstarter campaign [News - 01/14/2013 - 01:22]

He took the same risks that everyone else takes when self funding a pitch. I am also irritated by the tone of the pitch which seems to imply a level of risk and self sacrifice which either isn 't there or at least shouldn 't be. If they really are ...
