Itโ€™s hard to make video games in the middle of all of this. Itโ€™s a little easier when you have something to say and you know youโ€™re giving people a brief respite from the horrors.

My favourite and most hated thing about being an indie game dev is always having to learn new things.

This awful, don't get me wrong, but also somewhat validating? At every scale making a game is just really difficult.

When executives lay off THOUSANDS because of their terrible strategy and donโ€™t take any accountability, itโ€™s not hard to find the problem. Or the solution.

But shareholders are overprioritized, so the board chickens out and refuses to make change for sustainability.

I am VERY impressed with the effort indies have gone to this year decorating their booths!
It's so much fun walking around and seeing them all.

Here's just a small selection.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelledโ€”entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.
