Due to maintenance costs, we're winding down indie-plaza.eu
What we did:
✅ We turned the steam revenue simulator to a static site instead (still very useful for indie studios without a CFO !)
✅ We open-sourced the code on GitHub github.com/stephanerapp...
Thank you for your support 🙏

What matters is not the metacritic of the games we shipped, but the friends and children we made along the way 🐣
You got this man 🫴
Hi !
#portfolioday
I'm a freelance artist working in the publishing industry and for Magic the gathering.
I love painting illustrations with movement and emotion.
and the OST is soooo good www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqU8...
I guess I'll auto-fail my next investment banking interviews 🤷♂️
Not a pidgin but close. On my way to get a bodysuit with first-class tattoo artists, I was getting picky about skin estate and a bit elitist. I asked this one to a friend to remember the spontaneity and carelessness of the first shitty tattoos 🐦⬛

unused LOVE ETERNAL cover art, featuring a girl in red walking through a ruined castle while her doppelganger watches from the shadows
Thread of some disorganized thoughts about making the artwork for LOVE ETERNAL..
After genuinely wondering if there could be an upside in civilisation eradication, she probably sipped a cappuccino and casually checked the plane ticket prices for her holidays with the self-satisfaction of someone who feels she did a great job ☕
This reminds me of the terrifying interview of Lucy Hugues in The Corporation. Paraphrasing stock movements all day like one would comment a boring H24 football match is such a specific skill for a specific audience that at one point your brain disconnects from real life youtu.be/6v8e7dUwq_Q?...

J'ai lu "les gens dont c'est le faf" mais ça marche aussi en fait
Beautiful ❤️ As I haven’t been flying for 20y, I value more and more the string of beautiful cities in Europe. A whole life wouldn’t be enough to visit them all, and I barely left Paris in 30 years anyway. That’ll be a great retirement project 👨🦳
Awesome bundle ! I wish NaissanceE was still premium it'd fit so well in here 🔥
Wow my mom taught me that 40y ago. Actually works in french !

Hey Genevieve I'm sorry for you. Take some quality time with yourself and your family (it doesn't happen that often !) and I'm sure you'll bounce back very quickly ✨
Love it ! 😱
And it aged so well too ! A true classic.
Survival-tips for indies doing for-hire:
- Ask for downpayments
- Favor monthly payments rather then "upon validation & delivery"
- Break in smaller deliverables if needed
- Monitor the negative news of your main clients
- Put penalties for late payments
- Do not wait to send a formal payment notice
Je suis pessimiste mais pas autant. Oui des jobs vont disparaitre irrémédiablement. Mais on est en train d'assister à un changement de génération, avec des vieux studios historiques qui ont du mal à s'adapter au marché actuel et des tas de jeunes petits studios bcp plus flexibles qui n'en veulent.
When a company is declared insolvent, its outstanding debts are frozen and a public agent is assigned to supervise every inbound/outbound flow and manage debtors priorities.
Staff and Govnt usually come 1rst banks 2nd
By the time you get to suppliers and investors, there's usually very little left.
