If I had to describe Eurydice Games in a word it would be Independent. Not in the Indie sense. Though we're that too.
Independent in the sense we do everything ourselves.
Not because I'm a control freak (though I probably am). But because it's free. In money, if not in time. And we started with very little money.
It opens doors.
We design the games ourselves. No royalties.
Paul makes the games by hand in his garage. It means we can do small runs: 200-400 copies. Which costs a lot less than the 1,000 minimum order of your standard Chinese factory.
And ships them himself. So no freight and fulfilment charges.
I do the website. And the graphic design. And the marketing. And the social media. And the bookkeeping. So no contractor fees.
But things are getting missed.
Due to lack of time. We have jobs. And families.
And now we have some money.
Independent doesn't scale.
Time to lose control.
