[Article] Boss 101 Greenlight Post-Mortem, "How We Did It" by Donley Time Foundation

[IMC.Wander]

Today I came across this very interesting article by the author of successfully Greenlit game Boss 101, named Tim.

The post goes, very thoroughly, through all the steps to follow, options and little tricks that they used to get Greenlit. I figured it could do a service to this community :).

You can find the article here.

As an extract, here is the introductory paragraph:

As you might already know we were Greenlit earlier this week and thank you so much to our friends and fans who supported us. It took approximately two weeks from the time we hit publish to till Greenlight and in our mind that was a rousing success for Boss 101. We got a few questions about the process and what we did so we are putting together this week’s dev blog to cover what we felt were the most essential parts of our process. This is by no means a guaranteed blueprint of success for every game to get Greenlit but we think it covers many questions you may have.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been curious about the application process.

Great article and I agree with the method of letting your project sit for a few hours or days and reviewing your writing/presentation in a more fresh state of mind, definitely the same advice I’ve heard journalists give when writing.

Hey all,

Tim here and the original poster of the article on Reddit. Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the writeup. I got a lot of help from friends and associates who had gone through the process. Overall for us it went quickly and without a lot of stress. Thank goodness! HAA!

If you have any questions - feel free to ask!
