This guide is created to help beginner indie developers who make PC games. From it you’ll learn about simple truths that you would eventually discover for yourself. I hope that this material will save you time, money and allow you to properly assess prospects of your future game.

Specifically for indie developers we made a service called GameSensor that will assist you on all stages of preparing your game for release.
