    Marketing cost

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:51 AM PDT

    Hello there,

    I'm planning to make an indie game later this year/early next year and I'm currently trying to calculate the budget.

    Since the market is over-saturated with indie games (and I don't really believe in the 0$ marketing budget) I should hire a marketer or find some kind of marketing team that provide their services.

    I've done some research on the internet and I found some useful blog posts,analysis and other reddit posts.
    But I also wanted to get some other people's estimation/suggestions.

    Anyway, my question is how much does a marketer needs in order to market the game and what extra costs I might need to take into consideration(website hosting, youtube/twitch promotion etc)?

    Thanks for your time,
    Have a nice day!

    P.S. Tips and suggestions are welcome as well!

    Bad experience with letting a teammate go

    Posted: 19 Mar 2019 03:31 PM PDT

    So I own and run an indie studio and I recently had to tell one of my employees that it wasn't working out because he wasn't participating. It seemed to go smoothly enough, he said understood b/c he really wasn't participating and I thought that was that. Today I got a message from him accusing me of letting him go for personal reasons and basically trying to make me the "bad guy," in this situation. I let him go for more than just his lack of participation, I let him go because he was rude and hard to work with in general and appeared to be using private information shared with him for the purpose of development for his own personal gain. Technically, he broke our contract and left me with no choice. I came back at him pretty bluntly and told him exactly why I'd let him go, that it wasn't personal, it was for the sake of our team functioning as the well-oiled machine it was before he joined and due to the fact that I couldn't trust him. Now I'm all pissed off about it and mad that he's taking up room in my head. Do any of you have any experience with letting someone go and it not going as smoothly as you'd hoped? I'd love to hear how some of you may have handled situations like this. I think one definitely has to grow a pretty thick skin to be the "boss."

    Stadia's effect on indie game developers

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 04:04 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    It seems that Stadia is a very promising gaming service and might be a dream come true for many gamers. But what about the indie game developers? Will they be able to make profit by selling their games there? Or it will empower more the AAA games industry over them?

    Regards.

    Solo porgrammer (hobbyist) not knowing how to get decent assets

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 12:20 PM PDT

    I'm currently working on a small project (for fun). I recently hit a point where it is difficult for me to continue without having some good assets. That mainly contains some lowpoly models and textures. I have some experience in pixel-art and basic modeling but further than that I'm really not that good at doing art.

    So for me as a hobbyist with a limited budget, what would you recommend as a good way to get decent assets?

    Maybe you know of some tips and tricks to make some simple assets myself, or you know of a platform where assets are shared in a creative commons type style. Or something entirely different :)

    ​

    Have a nice day!

    ​

    *of course, it should be 'programmer' and not 'porgrammer' in the title :)

    Best Java ebook/book for board game development ?!

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 12:06 PM PDT

    Hi there guys!

    I do have a uni project which involves making a Java Board game as a team project.

    The main problem is that, I've never ever programmed in Java although I know C and basics in Python.

    The project involves UML, GUI and so on but I need somewhere where to start learning considering the fact that I got few months of time.

    AS for the game, it's a game similar to monopoly, but with no dice. Only using cards. If anyone needs more info about the game, please PM me or suggest me a book. I just need a book that has to do with board games. Thank you!!

    Licensing a web game to another website

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:47 AM PDT

    Hi,

    Today our company got a request to license our game (which is available on web and mobile platforms) for a website. But we never considered that as possible and now I have no idea how to charge for this, so here I am looking for all possible information in the internet and now asking you guys here in r/gamedev as well haha

    Any insights on what variables to consider when charging for a license? Or some guidance on how to proceed?

    I could give more information about the game if needed, but I thought it would be more useful for others if it was general advice.

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 07:10 AM PDT

    Hey everyone! Don't know if its cool to post about gamedev meetups and events in here if not cool just thought I'd give it a shot.

    There's a large gamedev meetup happening in Manchester UK on March 26th and just wanted to see if there are any other Manchester devs here who will be coming along? Would be great to network and meetup with other devs in the area.

    Sorry these posts are not allowed new here!

    How did you get/make Sound Effects for your Game?

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 10:45 AM PDT

    How did you make/find your sounds for your game? I look online for sound effects but I can't find many high quality ones. I am not talking about music I am mainly talking about things like ambient noise, (it's a dungeon exploring game if that helps), creature noises, steps, sword sounds, magic conjugation, etc. If you could point me in the direction of programs or tutorials that can help me make them or online resources that I can download sound effects from that would really help me out. Thank you very much!

    Searching a website a saw in a comment for animations

    Posted: 20 Mar 2019 10:13 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I remember seeing a comment some time ago that talked about Spine and the person mentioned a website. If I recall correctly, the website starts with the letter f, and you can create an account and I think it's for animating with skeletal. They mentioned this website was used along Spine to create animations in a game. Thank you
