YouTube video by Brainfart Studio 9 Strategies to Maximize Your Game Dev Time

Balancing #gameDev with family, work, school, and life can feel impossible—but it’s not! Learn how I make consistent progress on my passion projects.

In my latest video, I share my strategies to:
✔️ Find time for game dev
✔️ Stay organized
✔️ Keep projects manageable

📺 Watch now: youtu.be/MWdGWzdTsqM

I do, actually. Small community right now. But it's growing. Would love to have you if you're interested:

That’s a really interesting idea. One I hadn’t thought of.

Gonna have to think more on this. Maybe like two separate podcasts? Or at least two segments. One of the interviews, one for the topical.

Wonderful! Bringing people in and learning were the main goals. So if I can do that, I’d be happy.

Appreciate the feedback, Etherest!

Perfect! Thanks for the feedback, Tricia. Cheers!

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. Kloscur! Gonna have to do some more thinking on this, but I think I might give it a shot.

And deal! Would love to have you along for the ride!

Game dev podcast.

Interview our fellow indie devs. Programmers, composers, artists. Everyone.

Hear their story, workflow, influences, struggles.

What do you think? Would you listen to it?

There is an amazing amount of great games in #GDKO this year. For anyone that is competing, great job! And good luck!

#gameJam #GDKO Round 1 finishes tomorrow!

I’ll be live streaming the awesome games my fellow devs have made on #YouTube tomorrow night at 9:00pm CST. So be sure to stop by and check out some great games.

In the meantime, have check out my latest #gameDev video:

Day 28 & 29 of #100DaysOfGameDev

#GDKO #gameJam day 9 & 10

Final polish pieces. Screen shake, volume controls, working level select screen, a touch of post processing.

Just a few minor audio tweaks and I think it's nearly there. For a 2 week project, I'm pretty darn happy with this one.

You guys ever go back and look at your first game? Or your first video? (Or whatever your discipline is?)

Went back and watched my first devlog. Like, I see what I was going for. But man, I just did not have the right knowledge at the time.

It's a fun trip down memory lane though.

Choose 20 games that inspire you. One per day, explain why.

Day 12 - Super Smash Bros. Melee

Discovered Melee in college. Blew my mind seeing players take it to the extreme. Got me into competitive gaming and tournaments.

Today’s snow was made for magic. ❄️ Blanketed just enough fluff—soft, packable, and perfect for snowball battles and snowmen. The air doesn’t sting. It’s the kind of snow day that whispers: 'Come play.' 🌨️☃️

The kids had a blast—laughing, building, and turning the yard into a snowy playground.

BrainfartStudio - Twitch Hey there! I'm Mitchell; game developer and collector of dad jokes! This channel is all about games: sharing my game development process, participating in game jams, and just having fun playing them...

🎮 #gameDev livestream tonight (9:00 pm)! Playing through all the major rooms I’ve built so far—testing flow, difficulty, and making sure every puzzle is just right. 😅

#GDKO #gameJam

👉 Come hang out and help shape the fun!

Probably a bit late to the party, but worth a shot. If there’s still room or you start another pack, I’d like in if you don’t mind.

Got asked why I always share who I'm watching #Twitch.

I love finding other cool people and seeing what they're making. #gameDev is hard enough as it is. Any little bit I can help support the community after they've done so much for me is worth it.

#gameJam project is going SUPER well. One of the most polished entries I've ever had.

#devLog in progress and should be ready January 15th. In the meantime, be sure to check out my most recent #YouTube video.

Another GDKO'r!? Nice!

Looking good. Can't wait to try it out. Good luck!

Day 27 of #100DaysOfGameDev

#GDKO #gameJam day 8

Arranged level progression logically. Shaped the rooms so it guides the player a little. Doesn't look so empty anymore.

It's feeling so darn good. Feeling really happy with this one.

Just a few minor tweaks and some polish left. 5 days to go.

Sort of, but backwards. I have a dedicated user account specifically for my GAMING. Putting Steam and whatnot on its own account makes it much hard to start procrastinating.
