Are you an indie game developer, or have you ever considered becoming one?
Then this factual breakdown of the game development process could be a wealth of knowledge for you! Or it could just be a summary of stuff you already know...
(In the style of Casually Explained)
 

If you guys enjoyed this video, please share it around! Tweet it to your development friends, or print out the url onto little paper stubs and cast them out into the wind!
I have been considering uploading it to Newgrounds, but am not sure if it would fit well on the site? Let me know what you think?

PS> I LOVE the new site layout! This is minimalist done right! Clarity and ease of use isn't sacrificed, with a much cleaner UI. Those dinks at Google/YouTube/Apple/Every other website should take notes.

Over a year ago I started this "Flashlight" series, where I look at the history of different Flash series! I was really excited about the idea, but wasn't too happy with the original video on Sentry Knight. It turned into more of a review, and lost it's focus. I also sound like eeyore while reading the script.

Here is my attempt to revive the series with an overview of Fancy Pants Adventures, in honor of Super Fancy Pants Adventure coming out later this month!

I hope you guys enjoy it, I really would love some feedback to help craft future installments!!

And I'll hide this at the bottom of the post here...

The channel does have a Patreon page, and a new goal has been added to help fund the Flashlight series. I would really love to do at least one of these a month! But it is pretty time consuming. Please only give if you can, or if you feel it's worth it. But please also consider becoming a NG Supporter first, then you can visit my Patreon if you still have some spare change. Cheers!

One of the main complaints I received for Return to Riddle School was that it was too small. It was a game released in 2016 with the small resolution of a Flash game from a decade ago!

I'm pleased to share an updated release of the game that is now 1.5x bigger!!

Say goodbye to the 650x450 game of the past, and say hello to the new 975x675 resolution! I wish I had made this change from the beginning. It shows off the art better, and make some of the item hunting less of a pain. It doesn't come down to a pixel-perfect click anymore.

I hope you guys enjoy the update! Cheers :)
