Join us on Tuesday, Feb. 18th at 7 pm in Intrepid Labs, in The American Twine Building (222 Third St. Cambridge, MA 02141 4th floor) for our next Boston Post Mortem meeting:
~~~~~~~~~~~
DESCRIPTION
~~~~~~~~~~~
In this example-heavy talk, Gwen Frey will discuss her journey of taking her recent indie release, Kine, from an after-work passion project to a fully-realized, multi-platform puzzle game. Using footage from development, she’ll demonstrate how she crafted the game iteratively, increasing the scope of the game as she received funding. She’ll cover design goals and methods at different points in production, and explain how she developed the game’s overall vision. Finally, Gwen will discuss Kine’s budget and break down the sales split across SKUs. Come watch as Gwen showcases and celebrates both the missteps and the victories of a game that birthed a brand new studio.
