Does indie even mean anything anymore?
The past few years, the lines between "scrappy indie" and "professional studio" have gotten more and more blurred. What even is an indie developer at this point? And does the term indie really matter? Or should you just adapt or die?

How much we've made selling game assets

Don't get stuck just following tutorials
zhlédnutí 4,3KPřed dnem
Gamedev is by no means an easy field to get into. Because of this, a lot of devs won't even be able to actually start, as they will soon find themselves bogged down by watching endless tutorials, and somehow getting more overwhelmed with each one they watch.

Your game's GENRE matters (more than you think)

No genre tierlist this time, but I'm spilling the beans on how we decide what's a good genre for indie devs, and what isn't. Now nothing is stopping you from making S-tier games (and your own genre tierlists).

Your games are bad (and that's ok)
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 28 dny
If your game fails, it's not because of bad marketing, it's because it's a bad game. Sure, but you also can't expect your first game to be a massive success, so I just wanted to talk about that, and set some expectations for people who are fresh into gamedev. @eastshadestudios8335's video: czcams.com/video/LCzhyUsDHPE/video.html Join our Discord: discord.gg/WSus22f8aM Thank you to our Patrons: ...
