Today we discuss reducing the cost of content, and bringing the most value to players.

Clash Royale, Jim Sterling, clones, polish, mattalogies (Matt analogies), tangents, live demos, and wow a whole lot of chatter!

A Wizard's Lizard: Soul Thief just launched on Steam Early Access! ... let's talk about something else ...

Let's agonize over naming, take your temperature before launch, discuss roguelikes and YouTubers.

Sprite atlases, HTML5 performance, art styles, and general game devishness.

Advanced physics terms! Dumb GDC stories! And more.

Which of our tools have withstood the test of time?

How does a small indie team communicate? What's our schedule like? HOW DO??
