Follow on Google News | Bulletproof Outlaws: Behind-The-Scenes Sneak Peak of a Game Studio Start-UpProviding Detailed Insight Into The Entrepreneurial Process
“This is a great time to enter the game industry for very little investment,” It's no secret that a huge portion of the game industry is apathetic toward their work. Developers are assigned projects they're not interested in and work massive amounts of overtime to make up for bad scheduling and last-minute publisher demands...yet they're expected not to complain because they're supposed to be grateful they get to make videogames for a living. A lot of developers work on hobby projects on the side, dreaming about starting their own studio, but they're scared of the risks. They have a giant mental shoebox filled with game ideas they're setting aside for “someday”. I say make someday now. If I succeed, the steps to my success will be laid out for others to follow. If I fail, others can learn from my mistakes and avoid them. Either way, it's going to be a journey worth watching.” Bulletproof Outlaws will be creating new games on a monthly basis and their first game has just begun development. More information and a regularly updated development blog can be found at http://www.bulletproofoutlaws.com/ # # # About Bulletproof Outlaws Based in Calgary, Alberta, Bulletproof Outlaws was formed by Jeff Hangartner, known in pixel art communities as Tsugumo, the creator of the first set of pixel art tutorials on the Internet, “So You Want To Be a Pixel Artist?”, and the creator of Pixelation, the first pixel art forum.
