The last round of layoffs I was a victim of had a fancy name: "Project Mercury". Which was basically "lots of people are getting fired". But I guess if you give it a fancy name, nobody gets hurt.

Another thing I really want especially Indie devs to think about before signing with a publisher: what is your plan for marketing our game? Ask to see a schedule, evidence they have done well with other teams, and get express permission to sign off on trailers, press & media. Get things in writing.

Keeping fish alive in tanks and sea cages requires vast quantities of fishmeal and fish oil, produced by killing small wild fishes by the billion and rendering them into powder and fat.
