The prototypes are built, promotional products are printed and the website is up. Now I venture forth into Germany in an attempt to push my first game to market.
My journey will take me to Essen Spiel, where I hope to make some valuable connections and get some feedback in both the game and my company as a whole. After Essen, I will be staying in Germany for an additional week after the event, traveling to Hannover and Berlin to visit several game stores, so as to meet with even more potential players and get a feel for the German market.
With any luck, at this time next year my game will be nearing the market.
