How have you funded yourself (prior to Kickstarter)? I'm in a similar position to you (indie developer, working on my first project of size that I am polishing with intent to release). I haven't quite been able to square up a way

I'm someone who's started the traditional career path and doesn't like it. I've halfheartedly started a consulting firm, and I'm spending time shifting my focus to that. I'd also love to chat with you. thomas d

I find it weird that we can't have a dialogue about this. Parent post wasn't inflammatory, and yet by its mere nature it makes you uncomfortable? That is not to say anything of the truth of the post. I happen to disagree with it q
