It’s been a while we chatted back when I was at Astra! I’m now scouting with πŸŒ€ Spiral Up Games, where we fund distinctive, systems-driven PC indies (up to ~$2 M).

I’d love to catch up and hear how things are progressing (would love to play a build).

Parasensor looks absolutely stunning 😱 I’d be so stoked to play a build!

Are you/Ghoulish currently looking for publishing or funding support? Either way, huge congrats, it’s such a gorgeous and distinctive project. πŸ”₯

Looks so cool! 😱 are you looking for any publishing/funding support?

What their limit is. Although I do appreciate that could be tedious, but if I were pitching that's how I'd try to get around not knowing what their limit is if I have a flexible budget.

This can be so frustrating because if you have a flexible range you want to make sure you're pitching at a level that makes sensed but listing the range on your deck can sometimes seem too flexible. I'd say you can never go wrong reaching out to a bizdev/scout at a given pub and asking
