Show036: Marketing and Customer Service for Game Designers
This show is out of order. Show035 isn’t done yet and will be out later this week. Why don’t you just make this show035, Clyde? Good question, Clyde. It was already done which means the id3 tags were already made and I didn’t want to go back and take the time to change them. Anyway….
This episode will include very few questions from me. On these “blank for game designer” shows I normally work with the person I contacted whom I think has a lot of knowledge about the particular subject. This usually entails a back and forth, and adding to an outline until we think we have a somewhat definitive covering of the subject. I however knew nothing about customer service or marketing, so this really is Fred Hicks outline. Frankly I could have turned the laptop around, and just sat there, but it was more fun to get in the way. You can read a text post Fred did after this podcast that basically covers all this ground in text form, and you can keep track of Fred’s thoughts about game design and the games he is working on here.
Also this show wouldn’t have gotten done if Luke Crane hadn’t stood in for Fred’s shift at IPR, and his lending us the laptop to use. Many of these Dreamation shows wouldn’t have gotten done without Thor Olavsrud, and Bob Hawking Radiation, and their niceness of letting me kick them out of bed or keep them up late. Thanks guys.
This is the last Dreamation show. In two weeks we move to Forge Midwest.

Fantastic show, Clyde and Fred. This goes well with the interview with Luke last year, only with fewer chewing noises.

For some weird reason, this is not showing up on my feed at iTunes. Will keep checking, though.

Hey Tim,
We did get drinking in though.
Hey Fred,
Thanks for putting the effort into creating the content.
Hey Daniel,
Yeah I noticed that right away. I check itunes right after I finish since about 40% of my people get the show through itunes. The problem is with Feedburner, and I’ve been unable to fix it yet.
Did you get The Digital Front fixed. I had to listen to 5 shows this week to get caught up. Heh. I really liked the newest one, as I wasn’t aware people were creating folding models and maps with pdfs.

This show should be visible on itunes now. Let me know if you have problems Daniel.
