    Show Notes:
    Simple Flash RPG…won
    Best Browser Game award
    Star Control 2
    Paper Prototyping
    First tested out paper prototypes on self
    Casual RPG
    Try to be able to level up in 10-15 minutes
    Idea is to have players have quick success and quick action
    If you die, that’s ok…equipment is still persistent

    Did some rough prototypes in Flash
    Worked on converting in-browser game…into .exe version

    Current goal is to finish up Iron Dukes and get out to market…

    Looking to do online and multiplayer capabilities of flash

    Advice for other indies…
    Start small
    Smaller design is much more effective
    Start small and continually expand from there
    Can give players something loose and allow folks to create their own story 🙂

    • Iron Dukes is a pretty neat little game. Very cool to hear their thoughts on it – a little suprising that they did so much prototyping on paper.
