The developers of Dead State will be doing a Q&A 'ask us anything' on Reddit on the 28th of June, this Thursday. Another update will be done tomorrow:

Also, DoubleBear will be doing a Reddit AMA this Thursday from 5-8 PDT. Come ask Project Lead Brian Mitsoda and Art Lead Oscar Velzi questions about Dead State, RPGs, indie development, Kickstarter, or whatever. We'll be back with another update tomorrow and through the rest of the project. As always, feel free to send us questions here or on our forums. We've got a lot of stretch goals left, so any help you can provide to get extra eyes on the project is much appreciated. Some of you have gone above and beyond to spread the word and it shows in this week's numbers - thank you! Let's make this the best week of funding yet!

Jay Barnson has interviewed Brian Mitsoda, the boss of DoubleBear Productions, the indie developer behind this game. The link: http://rampantgames.com/blog/?p=4534

A quote on how it is to be an indie game developer today:

Jay: How's it like being an indie now? Care to contrast some of the major differences between some of your previous career efforts and your indie experiences with DoubleBear?

Brian: It's liberating for sure, but it's a lot of work and responsibility too. There's no shortage of stuff to do and when no one else can take it on, it falls to me. I'm the business guy and producer, which is somewhat new, although I've done my fair share of scheduling and estimates at bigger companies. I'm the project lead, which is always a ton of work as most everything has to pass through my hands for stamp of approval. I'm the primary designer, although a lot of the basic design is done at this point. I'm the lead writer, and writing always takes time. And PR takes up a bunch of time. My lead programmer (Nick) and lead artist (Oscar)do help with most decisions and managing their departments, so that's a huge help - there are some indies that do it all, and a couple of my hats off to those guys and girls.
