This week Dirk and David are joined by Daniel Doan of Black Shell
Media. Daniel’s career in games started with mods for the original
Starcraft and grew into his breakout game, Sanctuary RPG. He then
moved on to publishing and working with other designers on getting
their games to market. Daniel offers advice on how to keep game
designs focused and work with focus testing in order to deliver a
final product that sells.---------------------Contact Info Dirk
