Hello world,

Back in June I released my first full commercial game, Skydom, on Steam, after spending two years in development. It was far from perfect but I was proud of what I was able to accomplish. Unfortunately, I knew very little about marketing, so even with all the time and heart I sunk into that game, it didn't sell very well.  I realized that few people are going to drop their hard-earned money on a new developer who doesn't have a reputation yet, so after taking a few months to focus on college and regroup, I've come up with a new game plan.

Before I can try to sell another game I need to start to establish a playerbase through transparent development. I've spent the last two weeks or so prototyping my next game with my free time which I'm calling "Raster" for the moment. I've decided to make the demo completely, totally free, and I intend to continue development in an open way until I've established some credibility and have something worth selling. This page is the result of that endeavor. So grab a friend or play on your own and enjoy! Let me know in the comments where you think I should go with this. I want to hear your feedback as early and as often as possible with this project. 

If you like what you see I'm considering moving this game to Steam once it's further along in development but I need your help first in shaping this game to make it worthy of your time and potential money. I really want to make game development a full-time job but I don't want to rip you off. I want to build something you'll truly enjoy. Have fun :)

Sincerely,

Jesse
