I'm working on a motion controlled fencing game (http://chrisswordguy.itch.io/fencing-sim)

Besides game development, I have a big interest in startup web development, and thought this would be an interesting opportunity to try out a lot of cheap/free services catering to small businesses.

Currently I'm using: Asana, to coordinate team members, which is pretty nice but too email-naggy by default for my tastes.

Mail Chimp, to make pretty emails after fiddling with them for too long.

itch.io, which makes it super easy to host your game on its service, but is a bit limited feature wise, and doesn't generate as much exposure as larger/more exclusive markets do.

I'm curious what other services would be cool to experiment with. Some of my more pressing needs are: - Finding visual/audio artists, especially 3d modelers, to work with without a lot of upfront payment. - Doing less work to keep on top of social media stuff in my field (motion control/VR) - Meeting people who could be really helpful for the game's development, especially journalists. - Marketing, especially market research.
