END OF YEAR Q&A

hi all,

for end of year i'm thinking we do another Q&A since there's a ton of smaller questions that aren't always addressable in a long form video, but are too in-depth for a discord / DM response.

FREE GAME : I get 20+ demos sent to me a week. Here's what separates the GOOD from the BAD.

hey all,

just walking the dog and had some deep thought about all of the feedback streams, demos, and stuff that gets sent to me — and the most common critiques I end up giving. I get sent over 20 demos a week minimum (not even counting my promo email), and I try my best to peep everything.
