  • TGC: 053 The Game Crafter with JT Smith

    JT Smith and The Game Crafter Can Help You!

    JT Smith from The Game Crafter really is one of those people that
    has done it all.  He has made video games, tabletop games,
    along with a host of other products.  He has started several
    successful businesses and continues to serve the gaming community
    with new tools to help you succeed.

     

    JT Smith Resources:

    http://www.plainblack.com/jt-smith - One of JT's many

    endeavors.  Check out this company as it is a good example
    about how someone can grow from corporate work, to freelance, into
    building his own company(s). Follow the model!
    https://www.thegamecrafter.com/ - This is IT, the place to get
    your game prototype or production copies of your game.  This
    is a direct to print, minimum copy of 1, printing house that
    supplies a ton of services you will need to launch your tabletop
    game project.
    http://thegamecrafter.libsyn.com/ - Here the Podcast where JT
    and Jeff King give you business tutorials about how to make your
    game and insider insight about how the industry works.
    http://www.allusgeeks.com/category/podcast/main-only/ - This
    is Jeff Kings Podcast of All Us Geeks.  It is another great
    resource to check into for tabletop insight, might, and
    power.
    http://www.lacunaexpanse.com/- This is a videogame that JT made and
    open-sourced and gave over to the community.  It is something
    that he still makes money off of (even though it is free). Check
    out this game and its history to see how you can launch your own
    software project.  He built this on on the PERL programming
    language.
    https://www.upwork.com/- JT mentions the resource E-Lance in the
    show.  This has now become Upwork.com.   This is an
    awesome place to find freelancers to do work for you cheaply.
     I have hired QA people and personal assistants from this site
    and been very pleased with the work provided.
    http://help.thegamecrafter.com/- Here is a place where JT and his
    team have gathered resources to help you with your tabletop game
    project.  I thought it was just a better idea to link to it
    rather than copy/paste it for your to read here :)
    Rich Dad Poor Dad- This is an AWESOME resource for learning how
    money works.  It is something I have used personally and JT
    recommends starting there too :)  Check it out.

    JT's NEXT PROJECT!?!

    https://tabletop.events/ - Ok... so everyone REALLY needs to
    check this out.  JT has built several successful businesses
    besides The Game Crafter.  On the episode, we hear about
    several companies that JT has started and grown into profitable
    ventures.

    This is his new company designed to help Table-Top convention

    organizers do it right.  I have interviewed several convention
    organizers, and it is a logistical nightmare.  There really
    aren't any tools that help run conventions smoothly.  JT is
    taking that problem on.  Check it out and let him know what
    you would like to see. I know he would love your feedback.
