Site Roadmap

Welcome! New Game+ is geared towards developers looking to secure funding from publishers. If I do my job well, I'll make it easier for you to design, build, and pitch your dream.

Here's a list of articles that take you from dream to pitch. While the articles are laid out sequentially, feel free to browse around if there's a topic you're really interested in. Email me if you feel like something's missing from this list: znfried@gmail.com.
