“Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship
RICK BLAINE, summing up 102 minutes of Casablanca in just 3 seconds
I can hear you yawn: great, yet another blog on app/game development… oh the excitement is killin’ me.
Yet, I would like to stay for a moment, because:
What this blog won’t do:
- Spill eternal wisdom about how cool we are, for no apparent reason (well, we are, but still…!),
- Stealing your precious time by forcing you to read endess pages of eternal… whatever.
What this blog will do:
- Give a regular insight about the challenges of being an indie studio…
- … in short, bite-sized articles. Easy to consume, and low on cholesterol (hopefully),
- … and finally… (drum roll please)… sharing experience on creating the Next Big Thing to our fellow brothers in arms (yup, ta-daa!)
