En la cuerda floja

Gracias al PC gamer podcast llego al blog de Introversion donde el programador jefe y co-creador de la empresa comenta en tres articulos un resumen del último año.

Algunos momentos resultan tristes, cuando comenta que en el año del despegue del desarrollo indie, ha sido el que casi tienen que cerrar la empresa, cito un trozo cuando hablan del desastre que fué el lanzamiento de Multiwinia en Steam:

Tom had always fantasised about building a sales counter that would sit in the corner of the office and tick up whenever we sold a copy of a game. This time around he actually did it, building the device out of second hand parts bought from Ebay and writing custom driver software for it that linked directly to our Multiwinia sales counter. During our launch party dinner and celebrations that evening, what was truly amazing about this counter was how little it was actually going up. I’m not kidding when I say that we actually checked the connections and the software several times to make sure it was actually working, only to find out it was.

Veremos si esta gente levanta cabeza.
