Whazzup my PBs? Rad Chad here. So over Christmas and New Years I got hooked on this indie game called Guns Of Fury. It's a military-based Metroidvania game. You get the run n' gun gameplay of the arcade classic Metal Slug with the exploratory nature of Metroid or Castlevania. I've beaten it once. And I'm close to beating it a SECOND time on what they call New Game Plus. Now... A few months back I was playing another Metroidvania game called Hollow Knight. I talked about it here when referring to speed runners. Never finished it. Didn't even come close. So here's the weird part... Why am I almost through one game TWICE... While I couldn't even beat the other game ONCE? Both games are awesome. Both are clearly different from other games out there. Both are clearly desirable...I WANTED to beat them. But here's what I figured out... Only Guns of Fury was clearly DOABLE for me. See... I got so frustrated getting killed by almost impossible bosses in Hollow Knight that I just stopped playing. Make no mistake...Guns of Fury isn't a walk in the park either. I've died PLENTY of times. But it's way more doable after a few deaths and figuring out the patterns. I could actually SEE myself winning. Now... This is EXACTLY what happens with a lot of offers that get licensed. The offer is clearly different...maybe nothing like it. It's clearly desirable...people want it. But if it's NOT clearly doable? Customers quit. Just like I quit Hollow Knight. They get frustrated. They feel like failures. As PiggyBANKERS we want to pick licensed offers with three qualities. Travis Sago calls this the CD3 framework. **Clearly Different** **Clearly Desirable** **Clearly Doable** All three have to be there. Not just two. When you're looking at licensed offers to promote... Run 'em through the CD3 test. Is it clearly different from what else is out there?

What's up PiggyBANKERS? Happy New Year a bit early. Thanks for being here and making this last quarter of 2025 a blast! Between Christmas and now I had some plans to put more stuff up here in the group. Then, I decided it could wait until after the new year. So, I've tried to take some down time, go visit my daughter and her husband and have a second Christmas at my sister-in-law's house. My wife, youngest son and me will quietly celebrate the ball drop at midnight EST. No major hoorah this year but I'm glad for simple and quiet. How about you? What have you been up to since Christmas? Do you stay up to watch the ball drop or will you already be asleep (no judgement). -PB Chad

Just popping in to say Merry Christmas to you all. Happy Holidays to anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas. Super important question... What did ya get? Me? I got a new gaming chair and a few other cool things from my wife and kids (mostly toy related 😁). It was definitely a fantastic Christmas morning for the Boswell household! -PB Chad

What's up my fellow PiggyBANKERS? I just came across a new marketplace for licensed offers this morning. I've got no affiliation with this place (yet) but it looks like a promising source for finding good licensed offers to PiggyBANK on. https://www.entrepedia.co/ Check it out and if you find something good for yourself, share it with us! Let's get piggy wit it, PB Chad

How's it going PiggyBANKERS? A quick note for you today. When I add the new interview with @Tony Teegarden next week... Only Level 2 PiggyBANKERS or higher will be able to watch. Most of you are just a few comments away from leveling up! Let's get piggy wit it! PB Chad
