b'For the inaugural PAX Online, we join together with our friends and colleagues to talk about acquiring funding for your indie game! Joining Dylan for this discussion is Finji\\u2019s Bekah Saltsman, Kickstarter\\u2019s Anya Combs, Kowloon Nights\\u2019 Callum Underwood, and Devolver Digital\\u2019s Nigel Lowrie! The gang discusses everything about funding partners, including what to have prepared for your preliminary meeting with a potential partner, what your expectations should be for your first collaboration, and more! From the panel description: Finding funding for your game\\u2019s development can sometimes feel like a forbidden art \\u2014 discussed only in hushed tones in hidden rooms. We\\u2019re here to demystify that search and equip you with the knowledge and preparation needed to approach a financial stakeholder \\u2014 whether it\\u2019s a publisher, a crowdfunding platform, a funding collective, or some alternate partnership. Listen in on this discussion between publishers, crowdfunding representatives, and other industry professionals about the ins and outs of funding your game. Got a question for the show?
