      Somehow found your game on twitter just the other day so it was dope to realize that was your game after a few minutes into the video. I’m a huge original Paper Mario fan and have been so hungry for so many years for another one of those types of games with turn-based combat again.
      Ill definitely be checking it out when you’re done! Wish you all the best brother, keep killing it!

      This was a really nice and useful interview Conrad, thanks a lot (and Thomas ofc).
      Could I ask you to please elaborate a bit on how you did freelance work as a designer? I rarely hear that kind of thing where its not art or music, since those are easy to demonstrate and show to potential clients. How did you do it with design? Thx in advance.

    @mowztouch4873 2 роки тому +2

    That was so much inspiring. I quitted game dev years ago but I still am an entrepreneur, working on different projects. And still i find ultra strong advices in the way you see things. I spend much time in writing my strategies, see what has worked and what has failed, and why it did, in order to improve for the next iteration. And by listening to your conversation, i just find keys that are in front of my eyes, but hidden behind the details. I'm deeply grateful for your work. Thank you Thomas, and thanks to Conradical Games.
    For the question you ask at the end, about working on different projects, and woundering which one is marketable, which one will be chosen, i think may be you're at this point which Conradical spoke about, where you spent too much days without a stop at doing the same thing, like you "can't even select the right brush" because you can only see details, not the whole pictures. May be close that block for now, take the time to close all those windows opened for too long, finish some other opened tasks, then open a new block with that specific question. The answer might be much more evident.
    Thank you ! Greetings from France.

    Great talk! Paper Mario is one of my favorite games and I love the idea of people making spiritual successors. It's sad that video game publishers are still working in outdated models such as requiring big design documents (that they likely don't read) and milestones. I work in industries that are embracing agile methods and stuff like the Scrum framework, and it's chocolate and peanut butter levels good for video games. I am looking forward to seeing more studios embrace it as time goes on. I think it'll help make great games and hopefully reduce the industry's legendarily bad burnout rate. I hope to make my own indie studio someday, and I will definitely be applying what I'm continually learning as an agile coach.

    Take advantage of the time you have when you are young and can live on a 200$ budget. When you have family you are forced to make a steady income of at least 4000$ so its not really a option to do it for a living full time, you have to scramble on the few hours you have and hope to struck gold pretty much.
