This month we’re super pleased to have Chris Figueroa (SNOW HORSE) talk what do when you’re game goes viral before you have a game (and how this ultimately effects development).

This months talk will at least partially focus on Chris’s game SNOW HORSE, which had an interesting arc for development involving a certain viral gif of a horse riding a snowboard down a hill and is now a soon-to-be-released game that calls to mind Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Goat Simluator.
