I'm sorry for all the folks affected by layoffs recently. It's not much easier in the indie space and most of us are just getting by. If you are thinking about starting up a studio or going indie, I'm happy to share what I've learned running a small studio for the last 8 years with a remote team.
IT IS PART OF THE FUCKING JOB! AND IF PUBLISHERS ARE JUST FINISHING FUND COMPANIES THEN THEY AREN'T PUBLISHERS THEY'RE JUST LOAN SHARKS! (And I am fully qualified and certified to say this.)
Attended a few talks recently, and the advice on funding / publisher support seems backwards to the consensus of even a few years ago. If publishers expect devs to take on all the risk before making a commitment, then what is the offer? What risk do they shoulder? Risk is part of the job, no?
