In the midst of all the exciting stuff we’ve got coming up, there’s an endless stream of paperwork, video capturing, more paperwork, image manipulation, pricing, supplemental paperwork and swearing at volume as we attempt to compliance ourselves up with the various parties who need us to supply them with facts and blurb and whatnot. This is what make our games publishable, marketable and any other -able which means we get cash at some point down the line from our friendly publisher/distributor. All of this takes time and is the sort of mundane act which would drain the joy of life from Nat and Ricky, that’s is why people like me exist.

Don’t get me wrong, I like contributing to the creative flow of games, but my more day-to-day stuff involves taxation, accounts, forms and, well, admin of any form, be it filling in bank details to creating 300dpi images to approving min spec labels for the box artwork.

With the bulk of the effort on Kahoots home and hosed, we had a ton of catch up admin stuff, loads of contracts and form filling for which I was rapidly running out of space for. So hooray! We’ve bought a new filing cabinet, AND a set of suspension files to separate all our docs, brilliant!

So with our boss new filing under control, the next thing I needed to get done is the video submission for age rating. As a 3-man team with a somewhat limited amount of funds, we’re not in a position right now to have some big mad 4-grand Mac with insane levels of video capture capabilities, so we have to adapt to our much more meagre assets to hand. To which end we managed to eventually set up this carpel-tunnel inducing contraption to create a 30 minute subs video.

So you people just think about the actual, physical pain gone through to get this game to you.

Well done if you’ve stuck this post to the end.
