Recommendations for Ecommerce Website Creation
WEB/DIGITALI use Shopify. It's never let me down. It does have limitations if you have products with several variation options or other complexities. Although there is an app store for custom features, probably something for that. You can fully edit the html, css, and install your own customizations if...- James Thornton

How bad do you want it? Enough to go "all in?"
GOLD! PEOPLEGreat thread! January 5th, 2009, I got on a plane in Louisville, KY during a winter storm. We transferred in Chicago, where it was like a blizzard. After some delays, we finally flew down to San Diego. When I walked out of the airport, I just knew I wanted to move there. Loved the area...- James Thornton

Illustration time-lapse for my card game startup
Sweet, my final freelance project was for a card game, they can be fun. Also, a good friend had a card game funded on kick starter super quick. Not sure about the detail$, but he seems happy with the outcome. Since you already have the graphics, you could also make a mobile game version one...- James Thornton

He did good! The subtle shading is tricky to do in Illustrator (compared to pixel painting) but it's a good looking style for games.- James Thornton

EXECUTION"There is no work/life balance for entrepreneurs." - Kevin O'Leary If you want it bad enough, you'll work nights and weekends, and the job will just be a bridge.

Overwhelmed with Apps, finally burned out...
WEB/DIGITALYou can piggyback onto a brand, if you can make a pitch and reach a win win agreement with that brand. The benefit of this is getting to piggyback onto their marketing efforts to their customer base. Or you can find something popular that doesn't have any really great games made for it yet...- James Thornton

In need of some inspiration? An oldie but a goodie...
MINDSETJust listened to full thing. Kinda sounds like law of attraction stuff at first, but goes on to say your rewards are directly correlated to the value you provide and the needs you meet. Also talks about focus, hard work, and process, but it's mainly just a good mindset talk. Thanks again for...- James Thornton

WEB/DIGITALMy strategy for all projects I'm working on, including games: Hook the product right into something popular, and watch it ride off into the sunset. Ideas are just passengers. They need something to ride, if you want them to travel. In other words, stop making games YOU think are cool...- James Thornton

WEB/DIGITALDefinitely. Been doing digital art for years, there's a ridiculous abundance of talent out there. Someone can easily kick the graphics up a notch. Regarding marketing (free and paid) just remember it's a funnel. If you don't put anyone in the top, no one comes out the bottom.- James Thornton

WEB/DIGITALA beautiful renderer, but even people on the Unreal forums will tell you, it's not as good for mobile (yet). It's amazing for pc/console, though. However, it can do mobile, you just have to manually disable a lot of the awesome effects. It produces a larger file size, too, which makes it hard...- James Thornton

WEB/DIGITALYou've shipped products, and deserve credit for that. Am I correct to assume Impossible Cubie was the first, Photon Runner second, Timber Chimp third? I ask because of the graphics. That's the weakness I see, but there is clear improvement from one game to the next. Although there are...- James Thornton

A market where want outsells need by a landslide.
WEB/DIGITALThere's a less obvious, but more important angle. For some: It's their hobby. If you were to look at almost any activity, it's probably a serious hobby for 3% or less of people doing it. Out of all the people who jog/run, probably 3% like to buy all sorts of gear for running. Out of all the...- James Thornton

A market where want outsells need by a landslide.
WEB/DIGITALLast time I checked, out of the top grossing 150 apps in the iOS app store, 120 were games! Some simple indie games on there, too. Almost all were free to download, with in-app purchases - which generates revenue from just 3% of the players. That intrigues me because I'm a 2d/3d digital...- James Thornton

Building Mental Muscle ?

People pay as quick as they can to solve problems.
Was just cruising down the road with the windows down on a sunny afternoon, when I heard a strange noise from the tire... Hopped out to see a big screw lodged in it. Called tire shop, drove there immediately, and pulled out my wallet. Fastest $25 I've ever spent. Why would I wait? So I can...- James Thornton
