Channel: Stuff by Bez
Date: 2021-11-10

Daily positivity, and boardgame blethering.



Today: How much should we charge for digital stuff?



We'll chat about financial accessibility, sales volumes, ease of digital distribution, kickstarter algorithms, profit per sale, and maintaining a sense of value.





Respectful comments and questions are welcome.





There is always music and games in our hearts.

Rory Muldoon is a graphic designer & game designer exploring how art can influence game mechanics. Rory has 2 games coming out and hopefully many more to come.

Rory’s game, SKORA (2-4 players), is a beautiful game that almost defies description. A tactical game with hints of card management, secret objectives, and planning. 30 minutes.

We may be briefly joined by 'DutchYoda'. 



Dutchyoda's real name is Dick Rensema. He's a single dad of one teenager. He has been a web developer for over 10 years and has been gaming his whole life.

DutchYoda really started "collecting" games since 2016 when playing chess with colleagues rekindled his board game love affair. Now he writes and records board game reviews for a Dutch website.

Dutchyoda has been streaming and is planning to start English reviews. Recently, he designed a flip & write for IdleCon which he now wants to develop into a full game and maybe even get it signed.
