Have you ever been on the fence about buying or backing a game? You're following along, you've watched some playthroughs and reviews, you have trust in the publisher, and you can afford the price. The game intrigues you, but you're just not sure yet.... more

I truly believe that the internet would be a better place if we more consistently asked ourselves a self-awareness question.

In today's video Jamey and Erica discuss our favorite long games (for me this is games that play in 3+ hours). Campaign games weren't eligible for this video.

  • Great content from a great game creator

    This is a great idea! I was watching the Facebook live videos, but it’s super convenient having it in a podcast form! Would be cool to get more than just the Wednesday ones too.

A Unique Strategy for Creating and Crowdfunding Games: 6 Questions for Best With 1
Q: Number six, last, I was excited to see a game Stonefall from Peter and Michael of the one-stop co-op shop as the latest Best With 1 campaign. Any recommendations for newcomers?
For new solo gamers, Stonefall is a strong entry, and other recommended titles include Rome, Fate of an Empire, Mech Bunny, Small Time Heroes, Storybook Saga, and Witch Hunter, with a note that the catalog as a whole offers something for most solo players.
A Unique Strategy for Creating and Crowdfunding Games: 6 Questions for Best With 1
Q: Number five, are most backers just picking a few of your games or do they back every campaign? Is there a subscription model involved?
There's a core group of around 500 customers who buy almost everything, with about 40 percent purchasing more than one game; a subscription model was considered but not adopted in favor of focusing on backer engagement and repeat purchases.
A Unique Strategy for Creating and Crowdfunding Games: 6 Questions for Best With 1
Q: Number four, are you happy with the current pursuit of one game per month, or have you considered spacing out campaigns?
A monthly cadence provides momentum and constant opportunities to take risks; twelve games a year is a manageable pace that supports a steady cash flow and durable growth.

Q: Question three, how have you found the project management puzzle for juggling so many projects? Any key tips or tools that you found work well?
The best tool has been a simple checklist broken into line items for every production step; Trello and other apps help, but nothing beats a rigorous, evolving checklist that you refine as you go to keep projects moving smoothly.

Q: Question two, do you manufacture and ship each game independently, or do you have any overlapping production runs and fulfillment?
Games are sent to the factory independently, with rare instances of simultaneous printing, and I use a fulfillment company in China that ships worldwide, which eliminates cost savings from bundling and keeps each campaign distinct.
