@a16z Speedrun is a 'No'. 🛑 They found me, but staying 100% Premium in a world of 87% AI-SaaS projects is the real grind. Failure is just the pre-launch patch for greatness. It’s why success is so good!!! #indiegame#solodev#ElevenSunrises
Subject: Huge news for #ElevenSunrises!
I have some big news to share today: Full Ideas Games has officially submitted its application to join @a16z Speedrun! 📝✨
What is it?
It’s an elite program led by Andreessen Horowitz, one of the world's most legendary venture capital firms (the ones who backed the early days of Discord, Roblox, and Riot Games).
The Goal?
To scale from a solo project to a "Triple-I" studio. This SAFE investment would allow me to supercharge the quality of Eleven Sunrises and ensure a flawless release on STEAM, all while staying true to my DNA: a 100% Premium experience (one-time purchase and free DLCs). 💎
The Potential?
If selected, I will join the most powerful network of creators in the world to turn Eleven Sunrises into a benchmark for the Action RPG / Tower Defense hybrid genre.
The "Why"?
Believe it or not, they actually contacted me directly by email... I know I’m likely not the only one, but I was so surprised to be identified that I figured: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained!”
Thank you all for your constant support and your #wishlists—that’s what makes this application truly credible! 🧡☀️🏜️
Démo jouable au salon du jeu vidéo.
Jeu indé.

Bonjour, je suis solo dev, membre de Push Start et Toulouse Game Dev. J’ai vu l’annonce pour cette année via le Discord de Push Start. Je suis très intéressé pour vous proposer la démo de mon jeu. Je vais faire le nécessaire au niveau d’inscription. Cela fait six ans que je travaille sur le jeu, J’en suis à mon troisième play test grandeur nature. Je pense que je vais assez mature pour une prochaine sortie, démo milieu de l’année. Ça me ferait un grand plaisir que je sois retenu. Cordialement, Emmanuel
Nothing beats on-the-fly tweaks after honest comments. The small win: seeing a tester say ‘oh, that’s better!’ Do you adjust live or wait for the full feedback round? #playtest#iteration#Shorts#GameDev#IndieDev#SoloDev#WIP
