Detailed strategies on how you can get publisher funding for your game or go the crowdfunding route. Complete with real world war stories from the trenches. Exciting NEWS!!! "Source" by Fenix Fire is live on Kickstarter! "Source" is not just another project to Brian, it is THE project. He gives some personal insight of the inspiration for the game and explains it's all about exploration and life. Brian will be at the Indie MEGABOOTH booth 2 at PAX East in Boston April 11-13 2014 where you'll be able to play "Source" live. So, make sure to tell your friends and help make this game a reality with a successful Kickstarter campaign! Funding Your Game In this podcast we drill into two primary ways to get funding for your game - Publishers and Crowdfunding. We discuss the proper etiquette to use when trying to raise money for a project and/or a studio. We also give some advice on certain things or behaviors to avoid. Publishers The #1 attitude you should have when approaching a publisher is the feeling that the train is leaving the station and it's their choice whether they want to get on board or not. You want to let them know how their money will add to your project and how it will be useful for you if they jump in. Keep in mind no one wants to be a parachute for you. Investors want to be part of the success story. If you believe in your game, you're going to find a way to make it. You don't want to depend on money from publishers to make your game. Firs,t be able to show the core mechanic and the core game loop and then make a clear plan of what you're going to do with hat money. Salesmanship Sales gets a bad rap. Here are some fundamental techniques and advice: The more you know who it is you're selling to and the more more they know, like and trust you - the less you'll need to do the hard sell, will be more conversational The less you know them and the less they know, like and trust you - the harder the sell, like a used car salesman Do not need gimmicks to sell Need to create  and build relationships Understand in the business world, sales are a very slow process and need to have a lot of respect NEVER Lie - always be upfront and honest, because it can easily backfire Meeting With a Publisher Like a resume, you want to ask yourself how do I get someone at a big company to pay attention to me? First, look for small victories for instance competitions, rewards, honorable mentions or Kickstarter funding. Try to build up credibility to give them reasons to trust you. Brain shares his experiences with publishers and touches on Mobile Publishers. A word of caution he gives, "If you're trying to raise quick cash, any day in the game industry will not get you there." It is a long road that takes a long time and everybody who's successful in the game industry had to earn it. General Advice: The further your game is along, the easier and typically faster the sales cycle is going to be Don't bend your design just to get get your game funded When they ask for stuff, then you ask for stuff - respectfully not confrontational They usually find you or send out a format to email back to them Work on your community before game is launched Move forward with the thought that you don't need the publisher The Pitch Let's say, you're game has been identified as the specific kind of game the publisher is looking for. What happens next? Well, they will bring it back to a committee or group for evaluation. The #1 thing you can do is understand what that committee is looking for. Work with the ambassador to adjust your pitch. Also, the less amount of people you bring to a pitch meeting, the better. A 20 minute pitch: Introduce yourself and your company - talk yourself up Start a light conversation - pretend talking to only one person Don't waste any time - pick up controller and start playing Introduce character, world, goals and details that make your game remarkable

We'll be announcing the winner each Wednesday during “The Good Catholic Life” program. 3rd segment: Scot and Fr. Matt welcomed Susan to the show. He asked her how she first came to know Mother Teresa. She said she was 20 years old when she first started learning about Mother Teresa when she was a student at Dartmouth in New Hampshire. Her own mother had sent her a poster with some words of Mother Teresa that so impressed her. When she came home, she found three books by Mother Teresa purchased by her mother and this started her dream to work beside Mother Teresa. Fr. Matt asked about the words on the poster. Susan said: “Joy is prayer. Joy is strength. Joy is Love. We give the most when we give joy.” Then as a young women who always longed for heaven, Mother Teresa's other words that we don't have to wait for heaven floored her. She said her mother had no idea what she was igniting in her daughter's heart. Her mother has 10 children and only wanted to give her children uplifting and inspiring books. The first person she mentioned her dream about helping Mother Teresa in Calcutta was her mother who said it would be her worst nightmare. Her natural response was to not want her 21-year-old daughter to fly around the world to be exposed to death, danger, and disease. She remembers her first trip away, watching her mother crying in the airport as she left, knowing she couldn't assure her mom that she would be home alive and well. Fr. Matt said some people would say they went to Calcutta to feel good about helping people, while Susan went to experience heaven on earth. Susan said helping the poor and dying was happy and fulfilling, but it was grueling and some days were very difficult. Someone once asked Mother Teresa how she kept doing it without going into depression or getting burned out. She said: “I pray”. It's through her relationship with God that she had this endless source of love and grace. Susan added that every very early morning in Calcutta started with Mass and only after receiving Jesus in the Eucharist could they go out and serve. Then every evening they would come back to the Mother House to have adoration. Mother Teresa also wanted to make sure people didn't think what she was doing was social work. Instead she was serving Christ. It is Christ who is the sick person or lonely or in need. As she reached out to person, she remembered that as she touched each person, she was touching Jesus himself. Scot asked how Mother Teresa's sanctity was expressed in her daily life. Susan said she was captivated by the idea of a living saint. She had only thought of saints as long gone. As a young person, she thought she could do anything and had very expectations of what a saint might be like and Mother Teresa surpassed them. Her first impression of Mother Teresa was talking to her face to face after Mass in the Motherhouse. Susan was struck by her humility. As a young college girl she knew she was about to meet a celebrity and had never put humility together with celebrity. Another of her qualities was her kindness and her motherliness. Finding out that Susan's mom had been struggling with cancer, she gave her two Miraculous Medals for herself and her mother which she kissed first. Her mother lived another 20 years. Susan said Mother Teresa also treated every single human being she encountered the same way, whether a man in a gutter, a Russian dignitary, or an American college girl. She treated every person like gold. It was as if they were the only person in the world to her. Scot asked Susan how this encounter affected the trajectory of her life. Susan said Dartmouth graduates are among the most successful in the country and she was definitely on that track, but this changed it completely. She recalls Mother Teresa saying once that it's not a sin to be rich; it's a blessing. Susan found it remarkable coming from someone who lives among the poorest of the poor. But although it's not a sin, it brings a responsibility to the poor. Mother Teresa also said at the end of our lives we won't be judged based on the money we made, the cars we drive, etc. but on how we love. Fr. Matt asked what Mother Teresa's life, witness, and words teach us about the New Evangelization. Susan said the most powerful evangelizers in her life are not those who spoke much, but those who loved much and served much. Mother Teresa didn't talk about faith so much as showed others. She invited people to come and see for themselves, to serve in the homes for the dying. She preached the faith by her witness. Susan said God tells us that we are to be holy as he is holy. We're all called to be holy. So how do we become holy? Susan has hosted a series on EWTN called “Speaking of Saints” and so she was able to study the question. Humility is at the heart of holiness. Jesus told St. Faustina that only the humble of soul can receive His divine grace. A saint is full of the goodness of God. A saint is a friend of God. A saint is led by God through prayer and the spiritual life. Love is also at the heart of holiness. St. Paul said faith without love is nothing. Mother Teresa would say it didn't matter how many people you help; it's how you do it. It's the love you put into the deed that can save souls. They talked about daily Eucharistic adoration and its importance. Once Mother Teresa started daily adoration the Missionaries of Charity order flourished. Fr. Matt said Mother Teresa once said, “We're not called to be successful. We're called to be faithful.” He asked Susan to explain what that means. Susan said the context of that statement was a group of businessmen visiting the home for the dying in Calcutta. They were there as tourists. Susan said the house was a place where the dying were treated as royalty, lifted from the gutter. This was not a hospital, but a place where the dying who were in the streets were given a place to die with dignity. These professionals thought they should be kept in modern hospitals, not in the simple home for the dying. Mother Teresa was being faithful to what Jesus called her to do, to serve the poorest of the poor. Jesus had told Mother Teresa that poor didn't love Him because they didn't know Him and so she was to go among them and bring Him to them. Our duty isn't success. That's up to God. Our duty is to do God's will, exactly like the Blessed Mother did. St. Therese of Lisieuex equated faithfulness with holiness. Scot asked Susan what it was like in 1996 to receive permission from Mother Teresa to write her book. Susan had been giving presentations to businesspeople in packed audiences. She was told to keep sharing it. So she wrote to Mother Teresa and asked for her permission and she was stunned how quickly, even miraculously, the letter came back. Mother told her to do it for the glory of God and for the good of souls. Wouldn't it be great if we did all things every day like that.
