Dwarven Smithy - Game Dev Post #15

​CincyCon
We will be attending CincyCon March 3-5, 2017 and will run events for Dwarven Smithy.

Kickstarter
Since this is our first Kickstarter, we want to keep it simple and be successful. We have built the starting page, working on reward levels and stretch goals, finalizing the last beta prototype before final art and putting together our marketing strategy. I can't list out all the steps here, but there are well over 100 things to do before now and when the Kickstarter starts. When the project funds, there are just as many steps or more to get the product to our backers. Putting Mike's IT project manager skills to work!

Game Art
We continue to receive quotes back for art on the game. We believe in Dwarven Smithy and want to invest as much as we can into the game before the Kickstarter. Part of our decision rests not only on quality, cost and timeframes, but the fact we need to also budget for advertising, a graphic designer to put it all together and a videographer for Kickstarter. Hopefully in the next two weeks, we'll be signing contracts.

Playtesters
We'd also like to take time to thank everyone who playtested Dwarven Smithy over the last year. Not everyone wanted their name recognized but here's a list of everyone that did.

From all of us at Flatworks Gaming, THANK YOU.
