That’s a good question. One of the first ones you should consider, if you’re interested in starting to be an indie developer but also in general for ANY kind of work-at-home business!<\/p>\n
The answer could be “maybe”, but recently I am more gearing towards “No”.<\/p>\n
Why? you could ask yourself. Well let’s take for example the best connection you can have, beside DSL. That is, ISDN connection, maybe using both channel, for 128 kB\/s upload\/download speed. In indie business, UPLOAD speed is almost important (if not MORE important) than download. Indeed during your work, you’ll normally find yourself uploading a lot of times, expecially the day\/week of release.<\/p>\n
Even if you did an extensive beta-testing, there WILL ALWAYS BE (Murphy’s law) unexpected bug popping out exactly the day of release or shortly after it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So as you can imagine, and expecially if you opt for a fullversion download, the upload speed will become crucial. Even using the 2 ISDN channels a 15mb file (which is the average now for a shareware game) takes 15-20 minutes to upload. If you use fullversion and maybe even Pc\/Mac version, total time is already 1h!<\/p>\n
…and what if a few hours later you found another bug and have to recompile? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
ok now I guess you understand why a broadband connection is becoming a MUST if you want to do such kind of online business!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
