What is my most important skill that I can use in starting my business this year? Well, as I want to go into indie game development and make a studio, being able to program well, use blender efficiently and make music would all be nice, but everyone who goes into game development will all have these skills, so the most important one for me to stand up and out will be my ability to advertise, you could make the best game in the world but if no one has heard about it then it is no good. Especially as a starting out developer I need to be able to advertise my game otherwise it will all fail; my studio name will hold no power like other ones might. So how I go about getting the game out their will be important. One idea is to do ‘dev logs’ to get people more invested and familiar with the game before it comes out. I could set up a ad word page for my studio’s site, causing more people to come into it. Getting big names to review or play it on launch day will also be important, and if I decide to go the publisher route, getting a good publisher will have them get these big names for me. Though I’d prefer to not go this route unless I find a really good one. That is why advertisement will be my most important skill in starting my business this year.
