Validating Ideas and Using Roguelike Marketing
Episode Description:
Validating any game concept can be a huge challenge for game creators. And if you’re not hitting the target dead on, it can cost valuable time and resources. But just validating a product in a demanding market doesn’t mean it’s enough to stand out.
