Carnival Of Game Production - No Clowns Allowed!

- Over at GameProducer.net, they're hosting the 'Carnival of Game Production - Third Edition', described simply enough: "In this carnival, some people sent me several articles related to production and games, and simply some fun stuff."

It's actually a bit of a mixed bag, but Jake Birkett does contribute 'I’ve finished my game - now what?', which has some great points about getting casual games distributed, with specific info on which portals worked for him.

He explains of his methods: "Either find a publisher who’ll do all the hard work for you and be prepared for them to take a cut (could be worth it to save the hassle) or do it all yourself - it’s a learning experience but it’s HARD WORK. Make a list of portals and contact them in an organised manner and chase them up. Only tell them about complete games (include screenshots and a web address) that you can send them a full version of."
