Most people do not know what typical indie game life looks like. So here's some concrete, real numbers. Preface: yes, of course some studios beat these odds and these numbers. But it is not the norm.
@raphkoster I don’t doubt your point about marketing, especially at the high end of the market. As for indie games, is it not possible to reduce costs below the expected return?

Breaking my social media break to exclaim that there probably is an intersection between the folks who use Dot by @newcomputer and readers of @robinsloan’s new novel Moonbound. No spoilers but, huh. You folks feel it too? The sourdough is real.

Does this sound like you? Agile Lens is a good crew who could use your help!
Thrilled w/ Agile Lens’ line-up of summer interns but there’s one problem—they’re all brilliant Unreal Engine devs & artists. You know what I don’t have? Someone who loves marketing / web design / etc. 99% of Agile Lens’ bizdev is clients DM’ing me. Let’s update the website lol

No joke my job at a AAA company a long time along that is about managing a dollhouse and rhymes with Her Flims More.
TWO: The player can unlock 20 different motorcycles. Name each motorcycle and write a lore blurb for it that is no longer than 80 words. The only thing you can visually change about the motorcycle is its color, the model is already locked and is identical for each motorcycle.

a few notes: - the overly processed voice seems to be an artifact of the model trying to sing in different languages? - it stumbles with more than three languages beyond english right now.
