Freebie Reminder: Mobile Game Design Book…

Hey folks,

Here is a reminder for a popular freebie…a book on mobile game design…

We always try to explore new ideas and concepts on the show that make experimental game developers more innovative and effective.

In that regard, I’ve written a book on mobile game design. The book was written a while ago and could definitely use an update…but it still has some good material for mobile game design.

The book “Mobile Game Design”…which you can buy on Amazon…is now free for listeners for a limited time. It talks about the main mechanics for mobile games…as well as “hidden game mechanics” you can use to stand out in the marketplace. Enjoy 🙂

Put any feedback or suggestions on the book below 🙂

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.

Feel free to post questions about the mentorship below 🙂
