In this classic GDC 2012 talk, Capy Games’ Nathan Vella outlines the choices made by the team that helped one of the App Store’s weirdest games become a critical and financial success.<\/p>\n
Vella discusses how\u00a0Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP<\/em> was a\u00a0risky project that required new approaches to both business and\u00a0development.<\/p>\n He also explains\u00a0how the team handled “truly collaborative” development, the process of developing a PR voice to help promote the game, and how the studio mitigated\u00a0a\u00a0business risk by being as risky as possible.<\/p>\n It was an insightful talk that’s still worth watching, so developers\u00a0shouldn’t miss the\u00a0opportunity to do so now that it’s\u00a0freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!<\/a><\/p>\n In addition to this presentation, the\u00a0GDC Vault<\/a>\u00a0and its accompanying\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent\u00a0Game Developers Conference events<\/a>, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.<\/p>\n Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC or VRDC\u00a0already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via\u00a0a GDC Vault subscription page<\/a>.
