... That depends on your budget. If you're trying to get a game done by yourself, as an indie, you're going to have to have sold a lot of titles and coughed...
... I am. I think it's a mix of things here - I tend to work on the principle of "if I don't think it's really on-topic but one of the other moderators would...
I've been looking at websites about the US budget to figure out what the player's budget is going to be like in Ocean Mars. I notice that a proper federal...
