The first game dev mentorship was interesting and I enjoyed it.

c) You get good insights into the business and marketing aspects of game development

d) You get technical/programming help as needed to finish your project

Free Game Dev Mentorship…

Hey folks,

Part of the show involves giving away free stuff to indie developers. One of the more popular freebies was a free mobile game design book released a couple years ago.

This year, we’re going to try something different…I’m going to offer free game dev mentorship for 2 weeks to any indie game dev/team that is working on a casual game.

This mentorship would involve giving you feedback on technical, marketing, and business issues…every day via e-mail or Skype.

Once your game gets done, I’m also happy to do an interview about the game to post on the show.

The goal of this mentorship experiment is to see if this show should offer this new type of freebie to the mix of stuff we give out on the show.

If you or your team is interested, e-mail me at support at indiegamepod dot com … this offer is open until February 7th, 2016.

Corona SDK Contest Winner…

And the winner is…no one.

Looking at the submissions, I’ve decided that none of them are going to be worthwhile to publish on the market. I wanted to let everyone know. Usually there is a winner in a contest, but I think this time…it’s worth saving the SDK license for another occasion.

The folks that submitted a .apk to the contest are welcome to contest the final results 🙂

Maybe there should be a more drawn-out contest? Maybe something month long? I’m open to suggestions. Let me know what you think 🙂
