Sometimes, following our dreams doesn't require a huge financial investment. A perfect example of this is Steve Durán, video game developer and founder of Ogre Pixel, the professional studio through which he developed his Lonesome Village project thanks to a funding campaign. After bringing you Platform Game Creation with Unity, Steve now teaches you how to promote your games without a budget.
