All sorts of new and amazing games are springing up on Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter.  These are great tools for game developers to present new ideas to the masses, and provides gamers the chance to try out something different. Not all games have a fairy tale ending, however, and sometimes gamers get burned on the promise of something intriguing, only to be completely ignored and cast aside after helping to fund the project.  Such is the case with The Stomping Land, and we decided to look into it. 

Indie game studios are popping up all over the world. From freshly graduated student teams, to game industry vet collaborations. From the one-man-band to the massive orchestra.

Here I will attempt to identify recurring problems and mistakes new Indie studios make, and offer the best medicine I can muster.
