Summary:
In which a single task takes most of the week; a graph is produced depicting some of the results of that task; and the pitch-deck sees work.
This week's screenshot comes not from the game itself, nor even from its pitch-deck. Instead, it compiles some information from a spreadsheet that saw much work in the week just past:
This is going to be a somewhat-short blog-post, as the work of the week just past was dominated by a single endeavour:
That endeavour was publisher-sorting: the process of working through a list of publishers, visiting their websites (and occasionally looking them up elsewhere), and then placing them in one or another category indicating how good a fit for the project and for myself I think them to be.
This process was already begun at the start of the week (as I mentioned in last week's blog-post, as I recall). But the list was long--it had more than three hundred entries!--and the work draining.
But at last, partway through Friday, I completed the task! All publishers on the list (as well as a few additional) have been sorted!
And this is what is depicted on the graph shown above: the number of publishers in each of the categories.
Naturally, there are only a few publishers that I think to be especially good fits--all but one of which, I believe, have at least one metroidvania in their catalogues. There are more publishers which I think might be decent fits, and more still that I think might be okay fits--and a great many that I don't intend to pitch to at all. And then a few that I'm uncertain about for one reason or another.
And with that done, I turned once again to my pitch-deck, both in its text and its art if I recall correctly. That's still very much a work-in-progress, but I do think that it has indeed progressed!
That, then, is all for this week--stay well, and thank you for reading! ^_^
