    To add to my question about conferences, I assume that conferences
    are primarily to glean information through a series of expensive
    lectures (and expensive accomodate and plane fare).  Can you put a
    cost benefit analysis to this?  I guess it's too early until you get
    some solid coin coming in for the game.<br>

      Did you email Kotaku to review it?<br>

      What do you mean by attending conferences?  What did you do at
      conferences to assist in your career?<br>

        Btw, for anyone interested in persuing a career as an
        independent game developer, this is the value of attending
        conferences.<br>
