Great game stories don't come from big budgets. They come from good systems. The classic LucasArts adventures - The Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle - built worlds players still quote decades later. They did it on floppy disks, at 320×200 resolution, with no voice budget and no cinematic engine. Their advantage wasn't money. It was design discipline: story and mechanics fused so tightly you couldn't separate them. Modern indie developers work under the same kind of constraints those teams did - small crews, tight budgets, no time. This book argues that's an ...

A good TradingView signal can do two things: help you catch trades earlier, and become the product other traders pay to use. Most chartists are on the wrong side of both. They pay for signals instead of owning the logic. They chase 93% backtests without knowing whether the strategy is real. They ask Claude Code for one Pine script, paste errors back ten times, and still end up with an indicator that repaints. Meanwhile, the signal service gets paid every month because it owns the script. Build TradingView Signals with Claude Code shows you how to move to the owner side. First, you build ...
