And hence an immediate conundrum when you’re out to critique a game that someone else has created. It’s especially challenging when an aspiring indie asks me to “take a look…
Pretty cool! In 2009 Christopher founded Arcen Games, an indie company who have already made a handful of PC and Mac games. As such, his articles on achieving success as an indie developer, and working with the press as an indie both have a lot of weight. Very recommended reading for anyone interested in that…
